Hi, this is Pinky Bear, I dedicate this book to my mom. and brother.

Pinky Bear, shivers as she walks down the long hall-way of Thompson High. Today is her first day teaching, "ASL".

Her students are excited about this class, especially Lena who's sister is deaf.

Pinky Bear's students, simply could not believe the deaf can actually communicate with people who can hear?

One way the deaf can communicate with the hearing, would be to finger sign the alphabets. A-B-C-D come sign with me.

Lena asked, Pinky Bear would she teach her how to finger sign the name "Nia", her deaf sister's name.

That's a lovely name, watch closely while I sign it to you N-I-A, Nia.

When the class saw how happy Lena was signing, they too wanted to sign their names.

Class, let's begin with the letter

"A"

Form a fist and move your thumb over to the side of your hand.
