Jewish Nursery School Positive About Signs!

For the second consecutive year, second-year students at Maimonides Nursery School in Albany, NY are learning sign language, thanks to the efforts of Deborah Gurnson, a teacher at the school. Although there are no deaf students enrolled at the school, her class of four and five year old students are learning so they can “develop empathy for others.” She also explains that “Learning a second language increases vocabulary development and information retention.”
