The school that we're hoping CJ will get into this fall teaches sign language starting in kintergarden and then up through the grades, which I think ALL schools should be doing.Bananashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765560968908933858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31077336.post-75320900323733630572008-03-14T19:54:00.000-04:002008-03-14T19:54:00.000-04:00WHat a great thing. If I ever learn a new languag...WHat a great thing. If I ever learn a new language it will be sign language.

Its corny, I know, but I just love it!<BR/><BR/>I am really not that crafty, but it is fun! I like going on these weekends because I can use my friend's supplies! I don't have enough moola to pay for all the tools and gadgets!<BR/><BR/>I, too, am interested in ASL! When I student taught, there wasa little girl that was hearing impaired. It was so amazing to see her learn through me and the interpretor!<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend, babe!Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15085283882734675447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31077336.post-15171403017044547932008-03-13T20:32:00.000-04:002008-03-13T20:32:00.000-04:00Southerner-Thanks for the link.

"If you don't use it you'll loose it". I used to drive down the road too and sign songs. Yes, I am sure I looked like a freak to other drivers, though it hasn't ever stopped me before. I also took a musical signing class, it was great because studenta had to sign a song (chosen by teacher) in front of the class. It didn't give much time to think ahead but to just sign. I highly recommend. Stick with it. You can be very beneficial. Emergancy response teams (police, fire, etc.) keep munbers of interprators on hand to aid in translation. This is just one suggestion of many. <BR/>We have similar stories. My facination came when on Days of OUr Lives Kayla went deaf and Steve learned to communicate with her. Of course, as in any good soap opera her hearing suddenly returned.....then I too saw Marlee in Children of a Lesser God and was amazed. I also had a friend in school whose parents were deaf. After I graduated, I worked a job at a local dept. store in gift wrap. A elderly couple would come in regularly. Both were completely deaf. I was so proud when I was able to communicate with them. <BR/>Today, much of what I have learned I am sure has been forgotten. But I still sign to myself in the car from time to time, to keep my brain on it's toes.Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritavillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501269563354107349noreply@blogger.com
