Sign of the Week - "Leaf"

It's officially Fall! And even though here in Phoenix, we may not see too many leaves falling or changing colors, in honor of Fall or Autumn (however you'd like to call it), this week's sign is "LEAF"!

Sign of the Week - "Bicycle"

This weekend was my husband's first motocross race of the Fall season. My 19 month old son, AJ, has loved dirt bikes I'm pretty sure since he was still in my tummy. :) We've been taking him to races since he was just a few months old, and one of his most clear words that he says is "Bike". At the races this weekend, he kept saying "Bike! Vroooom! Bike! Vroooom!"

The sign of the week is "Bicycle" (Bike)

Sign of the Week - "Remember"

In honor of all of those effected by the 09/11 Tragedy, this week's Sign of the Week is "Remember"

It reminds me of the sign "Brother" - but rather than using your "L" handshapes - you use "thumbs up".

I couldn't get this video to embed into my blog - so please click on the link below to see how the sign is made.

Sign of the Week - "Rash"

I know...you're wondering why in the wild world of sports (this is my husband's saying) would the Sign of the Week be "Rash"???

Well, it's because my 19 month old son, AJ, came down with the chickenpox last Saturday! He hadn't received his vaccination yet, and was exposed to it somewhere, and here we are.

We are in the final days of it, because it seems like it's already starting to clear up. And thank GOODNESS all of the girls had been immunized already, and didn't get it.

So, if you were ever wondering what the sign for "Rash" is...Here you go!
It's the sign for "Red" and then it shows the rash moving up your arm.

Sign of the Week - "Swim"

This week's sign is "Swim"!

Phoenix has been under an 'Excessive Heat Warning', so our kids have been spending a lot of time in our Pool!

The sign for "Swim" is an iconic sign - meaning that the sign looks like the word it is representing.

Happy Signing!

Sign of the Week - "Teacher"

Keeping with the Back To School theme, this week's sign is "Teacher"

This sign contains a concept called "the person sign".

This means, "the sign that you add to something when you want it to be a person." It is also called the "person affix" or sometimes the "agent affix." Regardless of what you call it, this sign is added to certain other signs to create a new concept of "a person who does."

Sign of the Week - "School"

Hello!

Since it is Back to School Time, I thought that it would be appropriate for this week's sign to be SCHOOL!

As of this year, I have a 9th grader, a 4th grader and a 2nd grader!! My how the time flies!

Hope everyone is having a great year so far!
