Caption

🗓️ ASL Sign of the Day: MONTH
Two index fingers, one downward stroke.
Non-dominant index points straight up — it's the calendar column. Dominant index starts at the top, slides all the way down. That single sweep = one month ticking past.
Card 1 → Starting position (see cover image above)
Card 2 → The downward slide
Card 3 → End position
Card 4 → "I will visit my grandmother next month."
Neutral expression throughout. Mouth can silently shape "month."
