You have now learned many different signs regarding school subjects and things used in school. But how do you practice this in a conversation with others?
* Have a conversation about school topics such as:
* If you're in a classroom now, play "I spy" with a classmate and describe, or use Classifiers to describe, different equipment and objects around the classroom, or campus for the other to guess (and sign the answer).
* Find a kid's storybook from the library about school, such as "Biscuit Goes to School" and sign it to yourself or your children. (Don't forget you can do this with every topic you're learning).
