To sign "early", hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing down. Form an open "8" handshape with your dominant hand by extending your middle finger slightly downward while keeping the other fingers spread open. Place the tip of your dominant middle finger on the back of your non-dominant hand near the wrist, and slide it forward toward the fingertips in a single, smooth motion.
Point to yourself for "I", sign "wake up" by opening your pinched index fingers and thumbs near your eyes, sign "early", and then sign "morning".
Sign "we" by moving your index finger from one shoulder to the other, sign "need" with a bent "X" handshape moving down, sign "leave", and finish with "early".
Point to the person for "she", sign "arrive" by bringing your dominant hand onto your non-dominant hand, sign "early", and then sign "party".

Yes, your non-dominant hand should always act as the stationary base, while your dominant hand performs the sliding movement.
No, sliding backward makes the sign incorrect. The motion must go forward, starting near the wrist and moving toward the fingertips, to accurately convey "early."
To emphasize "very early," you can make the sliding motion slightly faster and extend it further off the fingertips, often accompanied by an emphasized facial expression.
