Class Information
ASL is a beautiful, expressive, physical language used by over a million Americans every day to communicate with family, friends, schoolmates and co-workers. I have been teaching ASL to homeschoolers for over 20 years.
This is a year-long course designed to meet the "E" requirement of the A-G high school course requirements.

This college preparatory elective foreign language class is open to all high school students. This course will teach the manual alphabet, basic sign vocabulary, finger spelling, hand shapes, and an introduction to the history of sign language and Deaf Culture.

The course curriculum is based on the California Department of Education World Language Content Standards available at: https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/worldlanguage2009.pdf.

Homework will be assigned for 10 weeks during the Tuesday classes and will be due either the following week or the week after. No homework will be given over holiday breaks. Typical homework assignments should take 30 minutes to complete. If a student is absent, homework should be turned in the following week.

Testing: On weeks 4 and 12, a vocabulary quiz will be given; word lists will be distributed in class the week before. Quizlet sets and other online game links will be available. A short midterm will be given on week 8 and a comprehensive final exam on week 14. Missed tests must be made up as soon as possible.

Class Structure: Classes will be held virtually via Zoom. Students must keep their camera on and audio muted whenever possible to assure participation and comprehension.

Fun Idea #8: There are so many ways to play with ice! Try this: get several ice cubes and put them in various places (such as 1 in the sunshine, 1 in the shade, 1 on the counter, 1 in a cold glass of water, 1 in the refrigerator, etc) Mark the time. Then track to see which melts fastest and measure how long it takes for each ice cube to melt. Play around with it - have fun!!!

It's JULY! The heart of summer!! Our theme this month is READING! Did you know that "summer slide" is a real thing? That means it's important to keep our kids reading so they don't lose any momentum! What are your favorite books for kids?

June Fun #7 PLAN A TRIP! This was such a great activity for my kids when we went to Walt Disney World in Florida. They had to come up with a budget, research places, airfares, hotels, restaurants, dates, activities, etc. So much MATH and GEOGRAPHY involved! We had a blast doing the research and then going on the trip! They learned to make choices about this restaurant vs. that activity because there was only enough $$ to do one of them. It was SO GREAT! Where do you want to go???

What's more fun on a hot day than playing in water? Kids of any age can write a message on the sidewalk with a paintbrush and plain water, then watch it disappear! Little ones can practice ABC's and older ones can practice spelling words.

June Fun #5 - Play Summer Reading Bingo! Print the form or make your own board and fill in the squares. Mark off squares as they are completed and have rewards for 5 in a row or blackout, or BOTH. For ideas to fill in the squares, go to: https://www.freshedhomeschool.com/reading-bingo
