SignWriting List June 1, 2000 I was glad to read about your plans for the new school year, Lorraine.... Perhaps the Deaf parents of your Deaf students would enjoy learning a little SignWriting themselves - I would be happy to send you some materials for the parents to share, if that would help... Deaf adults oftentimes become just as excited as Deaf children do...once they get used to the idea that their language can now be written.... Which brings up a question...Would you and Nancy and Cecilia and others using SignWriting in New Mexico want a SignWriting seminar this summer? If so, please write to me privately, so that we can schedule something soon - August is closer than we think! | ||||||||
