ASL signs for PLANET, SOLAR SYSTEM, RINGS of SATURN

Tue Mar 10 20:17:25 UTC 2009

Well, the problem with finding signs for those words is that they  
aren't words that come about in everyday conversation. Since most  
educational settings are very isolated, sign for concepts discussed  
are not standardized. Having said that, I can write some of the signs  
that I have seen, but it is important to know that these are not  
established ASL signs. It is also good to make sure that your students  
are in agreement with you on the meaning of the signs. Signs in next  
message(s).
