今週の手話 Sign of the Week

Shhh... I'm going to tell you a parenting secret... し〜っ、母親の秘密を教えてあげたい〜

 

Bubbles are great!

シャボン玉はすばらしいものです！

 

○ My mom once suggested keeping them in my diaper bag for when we stop at a park or waiting outside with cranky kids. 私のお母さんがママバッグにいつもシャボン玉を入れた方がいいと教えてくれた。なぜかというと、公園に寄ってくるときや赤ちゃんがイライラしてるから外で待つ時にそれを出すと赤ちゃんは喜ぶから。

○○ During rainy season on days we can't play outside we blow bubbles in the bathroom and try to catch them.

梅雨の間にお出かけできない,外で遊べない日に風呂場でシャボン玉と遊ぶと楽しい！

○○○ Bubbles are also one of the activities we enjoy on the last day of the Advanced Class when the babies/toddlers graduate from the Baby Signing Time class! アドバンスクラスの最後のレッスン、卒業のお祝いにも使えます。

 

The sign of the week this week is... 今週の手話は...

You guessed it... BUBBLES シャボン玉!

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs!

This week is off week for Hana House Baby Signing Time classes. Next week will be Takenotsuka's off week.

今週のハナハウスのベビー・サイニングタイム・クラスはoff weekでした。来週は竹の塚のoff weekになります。

At Hana House last week we had our "Bugs Stop, Bugs Go" lesson. We searched for bugs, pretended to be bugs and practiced stopping and going like bugs!

この前のアドバンスクラスは虫のサインを学びました。こちらにクラス以外のサインを紹介します。

Here are some helpful bug signs for the summer:

Mosquito 蚊

Fly ハエ

Beetle カブトムシ

Bee ハチ

Spider クモ

Ladybug てんとう虫

クラスに人気のItsy Bitsy Spider絵本のリンクはこちらにあります。Here's the Sign & SingAlong Itsy Bitsy Spider book that we use in class!

それと、歌のクリップを楽しんでください！And, for your viewing pleasure... A fun spin to the Itsy Bitsy Spider song from Rachel and the Treeschoolers!

Father's Day 父の日

Happy Father's Day!

父の日おめでとうございます！

Faher's Day isn't just about your own father, not everyone has one, but also about acknowledging the influential and inspiring men in your life.  They are "Father Figures"so we take a few minutes today to thank them for all that they do!

For your eading pleasure:

From The Importance of Fathers

"Changing, bathing, dressing, feeding, holding and playing with the baby are means to a good communication between a father and a child. While talking to an infant, using signs, or even using sign language, may help the bonding and the baby’s mental development."

Class Helper

One of the great things about my Baby Signing Time classes is that families can attend together.  Older siblings can help and be a great signing example for the younger babies.

This is one of my special helpers getting the Baa Baa Black Sheep book ready!
