To sign kindergarten, start by forming a 'K' handshape with your dominant hand (index and middle fingers extended, with your thumb resting between them). Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of your chest with the palm facing down. Place your dominant 'K' hand underneath your non-dominant hand and shake it side to side a couple of times.
Sign 'my daughter', then use the sign for 'kindergarten' by shaking the 'K' hand under your flat hand, followed by 'start' and 'fall'.
Point to the person for 'he', sign 'kindergarten', and then sign 'teacher' by combining 'teach' with the person-marker.
Sign 'I', 'love', 'my', 'kindergarten', and 'class'.

The flat hand represents a level or a ceiling, and placing the 'K' handshape underneath it symbolizes that kindergarten is the foundational or lowest grade level in the traditional school system.
Yes! You should always use your dominant hand for the moving part of the sign. If you are left-handed, use your left hand for the 'K' handshape and your right hand for the flat, stationary hand.
The movement is a gentle side-to-side shake or flutter of the wrist. You do not need to tap the 'K' hand against the bottom of your flat hand.
