Signing 101
Wow, we finished our second and third week of Sign Club! The students have been perfecting the finger spellings of their names and their ABC's. They learned how to say hello and good bye to each other. It is so cute to see them signing their names and greeting each other in the hallway, with their new language. They are so excited and love using the signs. They are not afraid to sign to the hearing impaired students either! As a mater of fact they are asking these students to teach them new signs...how great is that!! For all you interpreters out there if your school will let you start a sign club...do it!! The students love it and it encourages conversation for all the students, hearing, hearing impaired, and or deaf. Next week we are going to learn the Pledge of Allegiance...The student are really excited about that, they will have a chance to practice every morning !!
