This class is for students who are already familiar with the basics of ASL. The basics include greetings, fingerspelling, foods, and animals. If your child knows those, we can build off of them.

The class is taught in a relaxed environment that keeps your children engaged. I lead by learning from games, music, and much more.  
We may use Slides at times during class, and it is recommended to use a computer or pad.  

In this class, we will learn the difference between Signed English and American Sign Language.

The learners will be encouraged to interact with each other via  Zoom so that they can learn how to understand ASL when signed to each other. At times we will use break-out rooms.
We will be using Break-out rooms in different classes!
