Class Descriptions
My Smart Hands Level 1 for Parents
These classes run in 5-week sessions. You will learn over 100 signs to use with your child, as well as the ASL alphabet and 13 songs. Classes are 60 minutes in length and are created for parents, grandparents, caregivers, and educators.
In a playful, educational and language-rich environment, caregivers and children will build their American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary through instruction, interactive games, and songs. You will learn recommended first signs, discuss the benefits of using ASL with infants, and demonstrate easy techniques for successfully integrating signs into everyday life. Some of the ASL vocabulary covered for this age group includes everyday words, family, food, animals, emotions, opposites, bed time, and play signs.
All of our classes include a full-color MSH book with a digital down of the songs included in the book. The books have pictures of the signs learned along with descriptions for easy reference long after the class is over.
