I have just had a great time teaching a woman and her 12 year old son sign language!! It's amazing what a great vocabulary that little ones have. It just takes practice and patience but this little guy knew signs for baby, more, milk, sleep, potty, and recognized many more. It was thrilling to see the mother really enthusiastic about learning new signs for herself and her baby. It is a great way to communicate with a baby and you really can have a lot of fun with your facial expressions and get in to every sign. The kids love that!
I have to brag on my son for a little bit...he has learned some new signs. He can sign girl and boy now! Now we just need to get him to understand the difference between the two. :)

Group ASL Classes & Individual ASL Classes
Just a reminder:
We have group classes set up for $5 a hour long class and we will be using all the signs we have been learning and practicing in those classes to improve our conversational skills. I have been meeting at my house but I will also be using the Juice N' Java meeting room some days. That is on the corner of New Garden and Horse Pen Creek, in the Harris Teeter Shopping Center.
I am also offering individual classes for $15 a half-hour to teach one-on-one. You can call me at 336-681-2722 or e-mail me at slwheeler81@gmail.com to set up a time.

We are working on signs for "things around the house" this week!!
Remember to practice the signs that you use around the house this week. If you forgot a sign you can use www.aslpro.com to get the sign again.
CHALLENGE #1: When you are walking around your house try to use sign language to describe the things you are seeing.
CHALLENGE #2: Teach your friends and family your new words that you use around the house. Try and quiz each other if you need something to see if they understand you.
I look forward to seeing you next time! Be sure to study your signs for things around the house, we will have a fun quiz next class!
Have a good day! -Sarah
