Monday:  With your backward M-handshape while facing your palm up, move it in a circular motion 

Tuesday: With your backward T-handshape while facing your palm facing toward you, move it in a circular motion 

Wednesday: With your backward W-handshape while facing your palm facing toward you, move it in a circular motion 

Thursday (version #1):  Face your T and H-handshape toward someone, fingerspell it “T H” 

Thursday (version #2): Face your H-handshape toward someone, move it in a circular motion 

Friday: With your backward F-handshape while facing your palm facing toward you, move it in a circular motion
