Sign Language and Morning Devotions

Hello World!

This week I want you to meet my sign language teacher.  Her name is Patricia Moody.  She visits ARC once a week.  She comes into my classroom and we learn to sign.  She is a lot like me (even though we're not related) because she always has a smile on her face and remembers everyone's name.  We always have fun when she is teaching.  This week I learned the sign for eating, drinking, and love.  I just taught my blog teacher, Nancy, these signs! 

Here I am with Patricia.

This is me with one of my classroom teachers, Miss Barbara, reading the morning's inspirational devotion to me.  She has such a gentle voice! 

Special thanks to Ms. Jacque for taking this week's photographs for my blog.

Be cool! 

Your friend,

Cool Gabe

Inspirations

Dear World,

Here I am at ARC of Indian River County with my teachers.  Jacque is the one in the purple shirt, Barbara is the one in the white shirt, and Nancy is the one in the blue shirt.  Jacque and Barbara have 9 other individuals in my classroom where we work, play, exercise, and socialize from 8 in the morning until 2 in the afternoons. 

In our classroom we have a theme where I get to learn new things every week.  This week we are learning about ducks and geese.  Yesterday I learned how to sign "duck" and "geese" from my sign language teacher, Patricia. I enjoy having my sign language class, especially when I get to do funny things with my teacher, Jacque. 

In the mornings, my teacher, Barbara, reads to us.  What she reads gets me inspired.  When we get inspired, we can go great things.  What I inspire other people at ARC to do is to smile and think positive thoughts, because we all have the ability to be great and do great things.

Be inspired, my friends.
