I also taught baby sign language workshops to parents and caregivers.Baby Sign Language teaches simple gestures or signs, (American Sign Language) to hearing babies before they can speak).It helps bridge the gap of communication, strengthens bonds between babies and adults and enhances their language and vocabulary development. Come and find out more at my website www.toocutesigning.com I also began using ASL in my K and 1st grade classrooms the past few years. I have found it helpful with management, retention of sight words, manners, and keeping all students actively engaged and learning! It is a great way to differentiate instruction and to include many modalities while teaching/learning.
