SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) \u2014 When Mirzana Coralic asked the primary school in her Sarajevo neighborhood whether they would enroll her deaf son, teacher Sanela Ljumanovic volunteered without thinking much about it.<\/p>\n

Then September came and 6-year-old Zejd was there, silently sitting on one of the school\u2019s benches, his eyes wide open. At the time, no one at the school, not even Zejd, knew sign language.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to come up with something here,\u201d Ljumanovic remembers thinking.<\/p>\n

She tried to develop her own tricks and signs to communicate with Zejd but a parent had another idea, proposing that the whole class learn sign language with him.<\/p>\n

Three months later, the first-graders of class 1-2 at Osman Nakas primary school in Sarajevo have mastered the basics of sign language to communicate with their classmate.<\/p>\n

\u201cZejd,\u201d said Uma Nadarevic, 6, crossing her arms to sign his name. \u201cPlease,\u201d she then put her palms together as if she would be praying. \u201cCan \u2026 you \u2026show \u2026me \u2026our \u2026homework \u2026in \u2026 math?\u201d Uma waved the signs with her little arms as she slowly pronounced each word.<\/p>\n

Zejd grabbed his notebook out of a bag and showed her the circles and squares he drew at home. Uma signed \u201cThank you\u201d and Zejd bowed a \u201cyou are welcome.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
