Week Three – Now we’re really starting to learn some signs. That’s fun, right? Today we learned that signs above the line of the nose are male in orientation (man, brother, uncle, husband, etc…) and below the nose (around the chin) are the signs that are female (wife, sister, aunt, mom, etc.) Think about how men are generally taller than a woman to help yourself remember the locations for these signs.
We moved on with our numbers-moving our way into the “tens” 20,30,40, up to 50. There is a pattern. Review the numbers if you need to and I will be happy to help you in class next week. We always spend the first few minutes reviewing, so make sure and ask questions.
Today we also learned what I call “courtesies” like please and thank you, excuse me, forgive me, I’m sorry and You’re welcome. Here’s the video to review:
