Colors!

I'm continuing on learning how to speak ASL. This week I'm learning basic colors. From left to right are the signs for: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue.

 

I could not find a picture for the sign for purple, so I found a video. Here is the link: http://www.signingsavvy.com/wordlist/2/PURPLE/64

Also, from lifeprint.com I learned that pink is the same as red, but instead of using the motion for "r" down the lips, you use the motion for "k" down the lips.

I also couldn't find picture for the color black, but I learned from a video that the sign for "g" going across one's forehead means black.

Here is a video for the color, white: http://www.signingsavvy.com/wordlist/2/WHITE/53

This is the sign for brown.

Today was more of a refresher, since I learned the ASL alphabet in 6th grade. Using this chart, I learned the ASL alphabet, and ASL numbers:

I also learned the sign for "I love you!":

That's all for today, next week I'll learn some colors and other common words!(:

20% Project

As a new unit in my Gifted & Talented class, we are giving one day a week to our own learning passions. Each student gets to pick any topic they want to learn about, and pursue that learning. I have decided to learn how to speak American Sign Language! I will be posting my progress weekly, and recording my learning experience. I hope you enjoy!!!
