If you want to express "CLASS" as in 'group' see: CLASS-GROUP
CLASS: As in, I can't wait to go to ASL class!"
Sample sentence: Do you think this class is hard?
To sign "classroom" just combine the signs "CLASS" and "ROOM"
Animated: CLASSROOM:
Note: I need to fix the animation above it has two problems:
1. The "room" portion of the sign doesn't need the "R" hands. Instead
it can/should just use the "BOX" sign.
2. The "room" portion of the sign should start with the sides and end with
the front/back walls.
Does that mean it is "wrong" to sign "room" with "R" hands? Well, I
don't think it is "wrong," but during this day and age I wouldn't
advise using the initialized version for an ASL test since many ASL
instructors do think it is wrong. You will see the initialized
("R"-handshape) version of room show up on the hands of many Deaf people out
in the "real" world. That doesn't mean the
"R"-handshape version is "ASL" -- it just means that many Deaf people have
some Signed English versions of signs mixed into their everyday language
use.
Notes: The sign for "CLASS" can also be used to mean things like "category" or "section."
