To sign 'our', cup the hand slightly at the fingers. Press the thumb against the chest, with the fingers pointed up. Bring the hand out and around the chest, rotating the hand at the wrist so the side of the pinkie touches the other side of the chest.
Point to the house, then sign 'our' by sweeping your cupped hand from the thumb side of your chest to the pinkie side, followed by the sign for 'house'.
Start with the sign for 'our', making sure your cupped hand sweeps outward across your chest to include yourself and others, then sign 'family' and 'big'.
Sign 'welcome', then perform the sweeping motion across your chest for 'our' by starting with your thumb and ending with your pinkie, and finish with the sign for 'class'.

Yes! You should always start on the side of your dominant hand. If you are right-handed, your right thumb will touch the right side of your chest first, then sweep over to the left side where your pinkie will touch.
Both signs use a similar sweeping motion across the chest, but the handshape is different. 'We' uses a pointing index finger to indicate the people involved, while 'our' uses a cupped hand to indicate possession or shared ownership.
It is best to actually make contact with your chest at the beginning and end of the sign. Your thumb should physically press against your chest to start, and the side of your pinkie should touch the other side to finish the sign clearly.
