Did you know American Sign Language is the third most common language in the U.S.? In each session, we explore the basics and build on our practical vocabulary. The kids did activities and played games to help them practice what they have learned so far.
Who’s ready for the challenge? It was only mid-June, but it was HOT! Brave kids showed up to test their skills on our obstacle course. Afterwards, they were rewarded with a sweet treat.
We had a great time with families tie dying all the colors of the rainbow. The weather was perfect and it was a fun outdoor activity. Check out the wonderful pictures!
