Kindergartener sign her class. Fantastic.
A five-year old girl using American Sign Languages for her deaf parents.
Five-year-old Claire Koch was born to two deaf parents, and American Sign Language was her first language. So while 60 of her peers used generic hand motions, Claire chose to use ASL, much to her parents’ surprise.
Claire’s parents might not have been able to hear her concert, but she made sure they’d enjoy it just the same. That's wonderful.

1995 Rugby World Cup Final
It was a great step in the reconciliation of white and black South Africans.
"Not in my wildest dreams did I think that Nelson Mandela would pitch up at the final wearing a Springbok on his heart, South African's captain on that day. François Pienaar said some time later. "When he walked into our changing room to say good luck to us, he turned around and my number was on his back.
"Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people in a way little else does", Mandela said in a speech five years after that match.
Last Thursday, 5 December, Mandela died at his home in Soweto. There are people of all ages, creeds and colors singing and saying prayers for Madiba in Cape Town, South Africa.
Johannesburg crowds celebrate Nelson's Mandela life.
Nelson Mandela dead at 95.
Mandela has died.
Some days ago we commented "Madiba" was very ill. Yesterday I put the radio on in my car and I listened to the bad piece of news: "Madiba was dead". I checked my mobile and some African friends from London had sent this message to me: "Nelson Mandela has died, how very sad".
Yesterday, South African President, Jacob Zuma, said Mandela was at peace.
Would you like to learn more about "Madiba"
