Tops Signs for the Classroom- Part I

[Lillah Harris] Do you work in a classroom with students who use sign language to communicate? You might have the help of an Interpreter, but direct communication with teachers and classmates is always important as much as possible. So I'm here today to show you the top signs for teachers in the classroom.

This is a four part series where I'll teach you some useful sign language to use with your deaf and hard of hearing students.

To start, the first sign that we'll learn today is "Yes".

With a closed fist handshape. "Yes".

The opposite. "No".

To say, "Good Job!", you will take your hand from your chin to your other hand. "Good." "Good."

You can even add a thumbs up. "Good job."

And lastly, you will use the five handshape for two different signs. If you hold that handshake close to your body, "all done, we're finished, all done".

And up in the air this would be, "Yay!".

"Well done."

"Yay."

"Great job."

Stay tuned for part two.
