I love the "dancing with our hands" description that you use for signing in your story times! I just did a stroll through your site, and you are doing some super fun things! I agree that "Pick Me Up!" is a hoot of a resource. One of my all-time favorite parenting memories is my daughter (now 14) singing the "Frank Sinatra" diaper change song you referenced in the grocery store. She was about 8 or 9 at the time and was doing it to get a laugh out of me . . . which she did ; ). I've added your blog to my reading list. I'll look forward to "seeing you" there and on "Storytime Underground" from time to time!

Tho...Thanks for these posts - lots of great ideas! Though I haven't done "start to finish" signing in storytimes, I often include a sign language song that relates to the theme I'm doing -- and children and parents respond enthusiastically to what we call "dancing with our hands." I particularly love the varied styles and musicality of "Pick Me Up" -- as exemplified in the Sinatra-like "diaper song" mentioned above. http://carolsimonlevin.blogspot.com/search/label/Sign%20LanguageCarol Simon Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011967636995998634noreply@blogger.com
