We have been using babelfish more often. I write out sentences for Manuel toread when I don’t think he understand what we are trying to show him. I used it to tel him what he will be doing in class today.

He is learning English. I have 5 words in both English and Spanish (like ‘happy-feliz’ and ‘tired-cansado’). We played charades. For my boys I would say the word in Spanish and they would act it out. For Manuel I would say the word in English and he’d act it out. Then they had to write their word sets 3 times each.

Ki can’t find his word cards. ARG! ARG ARG! lost things really BUG ME!

He choose ‘tired’ for his word of the week. So we wrote that down on a card and he added to his story.

Gavin and Connor had some more spelling to do.  5 words aren’t cutting it fr them…LOL. So while we did that, Manuel played the Spanish book for the Leap Pad. “Fiesta en la casa” or something like that.

After lunch, I dropped Ki and Gavin off at their classes. Connor and I took Manuel to the Boonshoft Children’s museum of Discovery. He seemed to really like it, but was overwhelmed and got quite worn out.

I am making a Spanish recipe for dinner. It was given to me by Ron (from the game store) Ron used to be a chef in Southern Cali and has friends from Honduras. He said this dish is common in Honduras and Manuel should love it!
