Students and teachers at one Maine elementary school all learned American Sign Language to welcome a six-year-old kindergartner, who happens to be deaf. Little Morey Belanger has inspired her entire school to make a big change.
Morey’s mother, Shannon, said the gesture has been utterly reassuring because it “makes you feel like she’s in the right place.” Belanger also"I absolutely feel like it makes her feel welcomed,” the mom said. "I think all the kids feel excited that they know another language and I think they think it's fun.”
Principal Kimberly Sampietro told CNN Morey’s kindergarten class has "just really embraced her. They look up to her, they want her around, and they want to partner with her.", the school described how “many staff and students learning additional sign on their own.” And on reward them, the school offered the children a special Disney-themed guest on Wednesday.
❤️ this! My niece and nephew are deaf, we think sign language should be the international language too!
I always thought there should be a universal sign language and it should be everyone’s second language.
