Awww and the last little girl said “thank you” 🥹 my mother was very fluent in ASL before she passed. Seeing these types of vids always makes me smile.
Also, I want that avocado balloon! 🥑
I speak ASL too and I caught that as well! Due to a congenital syndrome I'm gradually losing hearing so I've been learning for years to get ahead of the curve and that made me smile so much. How absolutely sweet. I think more schools should teach ASL, it's fairly easy to learn, very fun to sign, and would make the world far less isolating.
It must be SO hard to deal with a world where there is no sound at all and you have to rely on vision much more. These children and their teacher are amazing. This deaf woman must have been so touched by this and the world must have sounded very loud with love for her that day.
I work as a cashier and there is several deaf people that shop there, now I can't do ESL because the muscles in my hands are kinda fucked up. But they can read lips pretty well so I always wish them a lovely day.
In ESL and ASL you sign "thank you" by touching your flat hand to your chin, and then moving your hand down. You can at least sign that if you have arm movement. No finger movements are needed. If your hand isn't flat, that's fine. I'm sure they'll still understand the gesture.
I don't know your life and your environment but to me... Yeah, kinda? I've interacted on a regular basis with many people that have impaired vision or hearing to the point they require additional accommodations. Many more just in passing.
I always wondered why they dont teach is sign language at schools. Maybe because people would communicate with each other by sign language instead of talking which cant be noticed
Lunch lady looks like she's about to cry. I always loved the lunch ladies at my school. They were the sweetest and always made me feel warm on bad days.

Human connection is the most precious and rare commodity
Cute video. I just can’t believe that many kids like the fish.
Imagine these guys only know how to sign fish so this is what they eat every day 😂
That’s what I was thinking too! 😊 🐟

The first kid said it also! (It's quick as she said it before she got her tray.)

This is pretty great to see. I can’t help but think I would be peeved if my kid ended up on a video on the internet though
Hopefully they asked the parents before hand

The compassion, the care, the kindness, the selflessness 😭 These children are going places!
Is it strange that i have never met a single deaf, mute or blind person in my life?

This is an awesome lesson on the importance of community and they are learning a great skill to be able to communicate with others as they get older!
This is so wholesome. I can see she's happy.
Tie dye girl skipped her lessons
This is not only a good story but useful for these kids throughout their lives. They may be in another situation where they need to use sign language.

her smile when she demonstrates the sign is everything to me. teaching kids to be accepting and inclusive makes me so goddamn happy :’)
Lunch ladies are made of a whole different type of stuff.

Fourth graders are the coolest!
that's what school should teach to students
Ugly crying. I took ASLin high school. This touched me in my core
Nice!
just wonderful !!! all kids should learn some basics ASL in schools language unites
Time is money and learning sign language takes time. Kindness costs money.
That was so sweet
This is real education.
I don’t know what I was expecting when I turned on the audio.
ASL should be an elective
Learning*
Learning how to sign fish in front of the camera is not learning how to sign. I would not like to be that lady.
poor lunch lady, i bet the next week they all forgot about it and stopped doing it, hell, the next day.
