The children were very excited to meet Miss Heidi. Miss Heidi talked about where Germany is and started introducing some of the linguist nuances that exist between German and English. The children were in stiches to learn that some words sound and even look the same in both English and German. Some words are very different and have sounds that are hard to make. The children learned colors and the names for some house hold objects. Ex: rug, mug, clock and so on.
This week we started introducing signs in play and basic need signs. bathroom, eat, and so on. Next week we will continue to work on memorizing the ABC’s. the ASL’s ABC’s contain many of the basic handshapes that are used for other signs.
