teaching spanglish...

Teaching English, or attempting to teach English, to small children is difficult...and sometimes really funny...for example...

A couple of days ago the kinder kids (age 3-5) were learning members of the family...mother, father, brother, etc....when I showed them ta picture of a family, and pointed to "sister" one little boy shouted out "CHICKEN!" and was so proud to be the only one who knew the answer!

The Preparatory kids (age 5-6) are really getting good at their Spanglish...while learning the numbers this week, I heard several saying "twenty-ocho, veinte-nine"...and so on...

we'll get there..eventually...
