Espanol

All 3 of the older kids have been taking a Spanish class. Corrine & Simeon have been going 2 mornings before school and Ammon has been going 2 days after school. I have been helping in Ammon’s class which has given us free tuiton for all 3 kids. Rebecca has also enjoyed coming to class and playing with the toys in the classroom. Ammon meets in the other kindergarten class and it is “play house” heaven for Rebecca!

At the end of the semester Simeon & Corrine put on a little show for the families about what they had learned. They sang some songs and did some narrations. They also got to show off their family trees that they made.






For Ammon’s class at the end of the semester they had a fiesta complete with a pinanta. After the pinanta was broken and candy given out the teacher was asking the kids some questions. If they could answer them correctly, then they got a point from the pinanta. Ammon raised his hand for a question, but couldn’t remember the answer. A little boy next to him leaned over and told Ammon the answer, so Ammon got the point. It was such an unselfish thing for the other boy to do. In the end the little boy who helped Ammon also earned a point.



Rebecca in the process of the classes she went to and working on Spanish at home, has learned many body parts and some animals in Spanish. It’s easier for her to say “aqua” then “water”, so she says “awa” for water now. We can also ask her “Donde esta la cabeza?” (Or other body parts) and she’ll point to them and say then in English. It’s been a lot of fun teaching the kids Spanish.
