This fun and engaging elective class will introduce children to the foundations of sign language. This course is not a repeat of last year's content. It will feature a lot of new material while allowing for some review of foundational concepts (the alphabet and numbers, for example) for our new students joining us. We will acquire expressive and receptive sign language skills through the study of various themed units including: adjectives (describing words), synonyms/antonyms (opposites), hobbies, asking questions, sharing information about ourselves, "how to" topics such as recipes, crafts, and more. We will interview at least a couple of deaf individuals throughout the year and learn about deaf culture and history as well.

This fun and engaging academic elective class will have students practicing their new found language skills from the first day of class! The class will explore a different theme each year as they learn about the Spanish speaking world. Students will learn Spanish through fun classroom activities and meaningful homework that will build their vocabulary and conversation skills. As an academic elective, this class does require weekly homework that does not require the parent to understand Spanish. This is a full year course.
