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.
