Homeschool Sign Language

We are going to start learning American Sign Language this year.  I don't really know of any curriculum for sign language...especially geared toward children...so I will just see what books our library has and use those.  I also found a couple great web sites for sign language:

Jesus Love Me signed in pictures.

A great site that has a few words with descriptions and cartoon pictures on how to do each sign.  There are also graphics with the ASL alphabet and numbers (if you click the graphics, it takes you to a bigger graphic).  There is also a great link called ABC Animation which has a fun little quick time video of the alphabet in sign language that is perfect for little kids.

I'm sure there are more good sign language websites out there but this will be a good start for us.  I'm looking forward to learning right along with Boo.
