Hello, I'm Meredith, and today we'll learn signs related to school levels. If you're
new, welcome! I have many videos teaching ASL, so if you want to learn, please subscribe!
You can click the bell icon to get new videos. Let's go ahead and begin.
Different school levels - and again that's SCHOOL - so the flat palms basically
clapping: school. school. school. I have many different videos about school signs,
so I suggest you watch those. LEVEL. Level. Level. The school levels
are what? Starts in PRE-SCHOOL. that's "pre" we tend to fingerspell PRE- here.
again: PRE- (p-r-e-) again PRE. Preschool.
preschool. Kindergarten it's a "K" handshape under
the opposite palm. Kindergarten. kindergarten.
Elementary school. An "E" handshape under the palm. Elementary School.
This one goes in a circle: Elementary school. elementary school.
Middle school. So the middle finger circles and goes down on the palm: middle
school. this is middle.
middle. middle. school. middle school.
high school. An "H" into an "S", so it's: H and S.
but we're not pressing them forward; we're not fingerspelling. This is a sign:
HS. It's again: high school. high school. high school.
high school.
College. So both flat palms, the dominant hand sweeps out and up:
College. College.
the hands -- so you should take it on your dominant hand is gonna go out end up.
college. this is away from you. college. so copy me here: college.
it goes out and up. COLLEGE.
The University is done with the "u" handshape. University.
University. University.
Graduate or grad school, you sign like this. It's a "2" or a "V"-like handshape
on the opposite wrist and that's to describe grad or graduate
school. it's different from "gradu-ATE"; don't mix those up. so it's describing
the school -- graduate graduate school, or a grad school grad school grad school if
it's a specific type of grad school, we can describe that. For example, law school.
law. law. law school. business school. and business. business. business school.
medical school. medical school. or you can say doctor in medical school. and that's
"medicine" is different from "middle". medicine. middle versus medicine. medical
school. medical school. degree -- and that's degree for the degree
different types of degrees, we can describe as well. For example: MD, PhD, and
JD, and so on. okay so now let's go back and review:
okay altogether, those are different different kinds of school levels! I hope
that it's helped you learn those signs. we have many more videos related to school
so I suggest that you watch. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you soon!
bye bye!
