Little Hands Signing: Feelings Signs ~ Thursday, May 21, 2020 at 10 AM
Little ones have BIG feelings, especially these days! Join us for stories, signs, songs, and rhymes celebrating feelings with American Sign Language. This storytime is hosted by the Carroll County Public Library Eldersburg Branch and will be held online via Zoom. Geared to ages birth-8 and caregivers. All participants must register here.
You can sign with your child to support early literacy, create more productive communication, and provide emotional security for your child all day long! Here’s a rhyme to sign using the signs from Nita’s Day: More Signs for Babies and Parents. Find this and other signing activities in the Nita’s Day Teacher/Librarian Guide.
