Now that we've begun to learn simple phrases such as, "How are you?" it is time to learn how to have an acutal conversation. Because there were only 2 people at class on Friday, this lesson will be repeated on Tuesday, December 5. Please be prepared for this. The activity was taken from Signing Naturally, Level 1 by Cheri Smith, Ken Mikos and Ellen Mae Lentz
