Today

• Understand/practice signing sports
• Recall Seasons
• Identify what sports are played in what season 

Warm-up

• Think back, what are the four seasons in ASL
• Work with your group to determine the 4 season 
• I'll call on each group to sign one of them (everyone in the group needs to sign)

Sports and Seasons

• Voices off
• Work with your group to place the sport in the season that it is commonly played in. 
• Make sure everyone in your group signs the sport and the season.
• Go through them as a group individually, do not give a stack to one person to do.
