Let’s be honest, keeping track of homeschool records is probably our least favorite part of homeschooling. Organizing and filing worksheets, handouts, tests, grade reports, and forms isn’t as enjoyable as teaching our children, learning with them, exploring new places, and trying new experiments. But record keeping is just as important in homeschooling as the actual schooling and requires just as much care and attention. Homeschool record keeping can be a daunting task for even the most organized parent. But thanks to several tools and resources, it doesn’t have to be a frustrating, tedious job.

My earliest recollection of communication in my home was the movement of hands in the air. I watched my mom and dad sit across the table from each other and sign. They coupled the fluid movements of their hands with meaningful facial expressions and body movements. From the back seat of the car, I would watch Dad signing one-handed to Mom. This was my life as a CODA, or a child of deaf adults.

My parents, my brother, and I, and the Deaf community we were a part of had a very different experience communicating through American Sign Language. If you’re interested in learning ASL or having your student take an ASL course, I’d like to share with you what this beautiful language means to me from a CODA perspective. I hope that it might inspire you to encourage your child to take the first steps to begin learning ASL.
