First day of class

So, we all took placement tests yesterday. Needless to say we all need lots of instruction. Tilghman is getting a head start on upper school Spanish. Alden is reviewing verbs as am I. Laura is working on other verb tenses. The school is well organized and our teachers are really nice. Laura says her teacher is very direct, how perfect. My teacher is totally bilingual. He spent three years at UNC in Raleigh, NC. That's helpful for me because he understands both languages thoroughly. Alden's teacher is very talkative. She and Alden keep getting off track, which is way more fun and practical.

Tilghman showed his teacher a card trick and she was amazed. He has to explain the trick in Spanish for homework.
Otherwise, it is some kind of hot and humid here, like Virginia in August. I'm calling it our Honduran weight loss program. 
We volunteered at the daycare center again. Alden and I had a ball trying to read picture books in Spanish. Tilghman ran crowd control and Laura helped rescue the little ones from falling down. Afterwards, we drew all kinds animals for the kids to color. We're finishing up our homework and waiting for a yummy dinner of empanadas. Alden is taking an interest in cooking with Denise.
Tilghman at school during break. Doesn't he look happy?
