oh my goshes!
Lukas tries to copy my mannerisms. he comes up with this shocked face and says “oh my goshes!” it makes me laugh, which makes him do it even more. then i feel compelled to laugh because i’ve created a monster.
This week i had the older kids write stories. in English. you gotta see Rebeca´s (5th grade)
“My school is cooll! bat is craese. today, i go the school, i ran, and i go the bothorom. i go the eglesh class and Rachel talk of rul number one: don’t talk. rul number two: don’t walk, rul number three: don’t touch, rul number foor: sit right…rul number five: RAN, RAN, YES, RAN! YOU CAN RAN! Mister Tele talk of me: Ran on learn center RAN, YOU CAN RAN! You can talk on learn center, talk, talk! i stay craese. yes, i stay craese, bat…i lake. O no! i go the my house. i is sad.”
see…i made sure the kids remembered my rules…four rules–not to talk or walk or touch ANYTHING without permission. i figured that would cover most problems. then i added the fourth rule, to sit right, because that wasn’t really covered in the first three. Rebeca added rule five, which definately is not a rule, and then added that Tele said they could talk in learning center…definately a no-no. my favorite part is how she stays crazy, but she LIKES it. hehe.
Lorena’s is pretty good too:
“i have a wadfull family! i m soll gleed to have e family lick thet becasse i noll they all ov them love me. we go to the shopping, we play, we are soll gled. and my family is very creisey. end we loves Mr.Tele e family.”
One semester of English and they are communicating! rather well, i think. perhaps we will work some on spelling…
Guilheme: “my family ets bananas. in threes (he meant trees). they hav fur. we is mokes (monkeys).”
