Items for your classoom

I've seen a lot of really cool classroom decorations.  Some classes have painted the state of Wisconsin on the wall, or the entire USA.  Some have hand prints of their students, and others will have sight words or common words they will use throughout the school year.  If you are planning to incorporate sign language into your classroom setting it will be very important to have different sign items throughout your classroom.  Some schools have a rule about how many paper items they can have on their walls, or possibly not allowing this at all. 

If you cannot have a lot of items on your walls, it shouldn't stop you from having flip charts with sign language words and phrases on them.  There are puzzles for the alphabet, and flash cards.  If you use them for math, why not use them for sign language!

I like finding cartoon pictures or icons to use on worksheets or to add to things to make them more cheery.  Since the Smurfs were cool when I was a kid, and the movie is out again...I thought this was a good picture to add to my blog.

I found this great site that has over 40 items that incorporate sign language into them.  Enjoy!
