                 shy Jonah at desk     The teacher asked if anyone knew how to write
                                                their name. Jonah could do that!

                           Jonah was alittle scared but he raised his
                                                hand.
 

                                               At first some kids stared because he used his
                                               sign language helper (called an inter-preter) to
                                               tell him what the teacher said.

                         funnyl pencil head     He wrote his name on his paper and
                                             showed her.  The teacher said that was wonderful!

                                             Some of the other kids smiled and one gave
                                             Jonah a thumbs up sign!

3 new friends!

                    On the playground at recess, Jonah had lots of fun!

                                     He made friends with three kids!

                                     It wasn't easy to talk to them, but they had a big
                                     thing in common. They all liked to play,  just like
                                     Jonah!

                                     Jonah even taught them how to say
                                     a few words in sign language like "hi", 'friend" and
                                    "school".  They liked learning too!

                                     After they played awhile,  it was time
                                     to go back inside.

                                     The teacher let them draw pictures and then it was
                                      time for the bus to come and take Jonah home.

                                      Jonah had a fun day at school today! And he couldn't
                                      wait to tell his mom!
