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...

  1. At least it was only 'hola amigo' and not something worse, because then kids would have started laughing and there would have been chaos. By the way, little known fact: if you tell kids your name is Rumpelstiltskin, they might actually believe you.
