Sign Language

We had the honor of Neila Hand (a former student) and her mom Rosemary coming to visit the second graders last week.  We'd learned about sign language from our reading story.  The kids had been practicing spelling their names using the alphabet, but they were able to give us a better understanding of the importance of sign language.  Mrs. Hand signed while Neila interpreted.  The students were able to learn how this form of communication is beneficial.  The mother and daughter pair also showed us different ways to sign things, as well as how sign language is different from the written and spoken word.  They've left some book for us to look at too.  Thank you Mrs. Hand and Neila!
