Sabrina pass out 3 >stories to student and they look whole page and try to sign from that. It >was so cute!! Then They clap thier hand and Sabrina was happy and her >teacher ask Sabrina, Can leave 3 stories at school for one week and let >kids look thru and learn something. She say SURE!! > >Lourdes ______________________ Lourdes - this is wonderful news. I am assuming this is a classroom of hearing children? That is another fun experiment - to see if hearing children would learn signing better by having reading material in SignWriting - would they remember new signs longer? Maybe Sabrina can see if they can sign what they see on the page, even if they don't know what it means...
