How do I say “That’s a Wrap” in ASL?

My journey of learning ASL is far from over, but as our course comes to an end, so does my official learning project.

I chose to learn ASL in an attempt to teach my daughter more signs to be able to communicate with her more effectively. We are now at the toddler stage where she is definitely talking, just not always in English. ASL has been such a great tool in our household to be able to communicate with our now 18 month old!

Summary of Project

I had a great time furthering my ASL knowledge. I definitely believe this is a skill I will continue to learn in the future, especially that I now have a second little one on the way and will need every communication skill I can in my house with 2 under 3!

I feel as though as much as I learned about ASL, I learned much more about blogging as a whole. Creating a blog is something that seemed much too difficult for me before starting this class and I am so glad I was able to learn how to blog! Every week I feel as though my posts improved as I was able to experiment and learn new skills within blogging itself. I feel like blogging is a skill I will continue to use as I continue my schooling and further into my career!
