Bilingual Lessons

 KM "How do you know spanish ?" (mouth gaping in surprise that I actually know something)
 Me- "I just do"
 IK "I know spanish...ohglgahg gula... Hola Amigo, Hola Amigo, Hola Amigo "(WILL NOT STOP CHANTING)
Me- "Please stop and finish your math"

Side note- when I took ESL two years ago they told me to never speak the  child's native language b/c then they will not be motivated to learn English. So way to listen to instructional advice...

This isn't something that someone said but as I sit here with ten minutes to recess, it's the thought that came to my head. After 6 days we are actually listening to directions. I feel like doing the Mary Tyler Moore jump for joy, while singing the above song. If you don't know what I am talking about, please google "Mary Tyler Moore opening credits" and you will then know...
