There are so many advantages and benefits to using and implementing sign language into the classroom. What I wanted to learn this week included a few phrases that students may ask in the classroom, such as:
- “May I go to the washroom?”
- “I have a question” or “I need help”
- “May I go get a drink of water?”
…but, it didn’t quite work out, as availability over the break with a close family friend from the deaf community schedule and my schedule didn’t match up. It is fine because it gave me a chance to learn other school signs in place of those phrases. I will learn those phrases at a different time, as they will come in handy when my students want to ask questions in the classroom.
The videos that I have presented to you for this week are again broken down into audio and no audio for each thing that I learned. So, the first 2 videos are of me signing manners, the 5 W’s, yes and no, the second 2 videos are of me signing part one of school signs, and the last 2 videos are of me signing part two of school signs.
Watch! Enjoy! Learn! Sign! 🙂
