And thank you for the very nice message above. I am so hopeful that perhaps we can start a SignWriting Literacy Project in Alaska?....So please keep us informed what happens with the teachers there....when they find out it will cost them nothing, except time, perhaps they will be open to it ;-) Meanwhile, Linda, I would like to ask you a favor? There is a Deaf adult named Cynthia Andeson, who is interested in learning SignWriting at home. She lives in Anchorage, Alaska. Her sister, Jennifer, wrote this to me: _______ From: Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 23:06:42 -0800 To: SignWriting List Subject: Do you have to have a teacher? My sister, who is 45 years old and wishes to homeschool, will this program work for her alone? She loves your idea and wants to learn. I work full time and time is limited. Jennifer Cynthia's sister ________ I was wondering...if I sent Cynthia some donated SignWriting materials, would you be willing to teach her a little? I know you are new to SignWriting, but it may be fun - a way to share. And your daughter, who will most likely learn SignWriting quickly, just might benefit from getting to know another Deaf person in Anchorage... I am guessing that Cynthia is multiply handicapped - I am not sure of that, but it is possible that as a Deaf adult her reading levels in English are low...but SignWriting might be a joy to her, and to you and Lindsey too... Just a thought - And welcome home once again - -- Val ;-) ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org To Post A Message To The SW List: SignWriting List Archives: https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l |
