I believe I mentioned that there was going to be a new little boy joining us in the Pre-K classroom today. I had great aspirations of Isaac being able to speak English and thereby being a great help to me. However, the whole time he was being dropped off by his Mom he was rattling off in Spanish. I thought to myself... "maybe he's just talking to his Mom in Spanish and he'll speak to me in English". Then his Mom informed me that he understands almost everything that is said to him in English because his Dad speaks only English, but unfortunately Isaac only speaks in Spanish. Pop! There went my bubble! For some reason this situation only makes Danny and Matias talk in Spanish more too! This definitely aids in expanding my Spanish vocabulary, but I have to keep speaking to them in English so they will learn too!
Thankfully Isaac seems to be a pretty good natured child, but he tends to follow whatever direction (good or bad) that Danny and Matias go. Danny and Matias had a little "discussion" today, and from what I gathered (because, of course, they were speaking in Spanish) they were "discussing" whether or not they were going to be friends anymore. I think Isaac being there has put a little kink in the dynamic duo.
Anyway, please continue to pray that I would have wisdom in dealing with these boys. They definitely keep me on my toes! Please pray for their behavior and that I would know the best way to keep them in line and wanting to learn. Thanks so much for your prayers!
