Hello Jonita!
Thank you for this question. I will answer it in two emails. This is  
the first one.

First, let's be sure you have the Lessons in SignWriting Textbook?  
Does your office have the textbook on your shelf? If not, we can  
arrange to send you a copy (Ron...contact me about getting another  
copy of the Lessons in SignWriting textbook for your office...)

The Facial Expressions are listed on page 139-150, and Head Movements  
are from p 151-158.

You can download the complete textbook or read it on the web too...

the many pages explaining Facial Expressions:
