St James - Intermediate ASL

I've been challenging the students much more this week and they were able to rise to the challenge while having fun! 

This week, the students dived right in and learned about yes/no question ASL structure. When you ask a yes/no question, "Are you ok?" raise your eyebrows to indicate that you're asking for a yes or no answer. They played GO FISH card game to practice raising their eyebrows, asking one another, "You have 8?" "7 you have?"

We also learned dates and how to sign the numbers along with the months:

Monday - Sunday 

January - December 

January 1st (new year)

February 14th (Valentine's day)

March 17th (St. Patrick day)

April 1st (April's fool)

and so forth. 

I keep forgetting to take pictures because we're having too much fun together! 

Challenge your child to use their facial expression properly when they ask you a yes/no question and every day ask them what's the date? Friday, Jan 11, etc :)
