Inspiration

Lily, a walker in a The Rhythm of my Day pilot class, picked up the sign language for the word WHERE very quickly. As lily's family was driving home from vacation, her mom was singing Jingle Go the Baby Bells. When Lily inserted the sign language for WHERE at the appropriate place in the song, Mom let out a squeal of excitement, so exuberant that Dad almost drove off the road! It is not always evident to educators and parents when a child is learning. This story about lily and her family is a perfect example of the unexpected moments at which children share their understanding.
