So Papa had the day off today...many jobs in PR did. A remembrance of Jose De Diego, a huge political activist for Puerto Ricans.
We have really been buckling down on the Spanish at home....insisting the kids use it more when at Abuelo y Abuela's house, etc.
Since Papa was here today during our school time, he was able to observe the kids attitude about it all.
Smarty Pants is full of confidence at home, but refuses to speak it to anyone. Sweet Thing is full of confidence and will use it all the time, not worrying about how wrong she might be saying stuff. Drama Mama butchers every word she says, has no desire to even try to speak Spanish. Goofy Girl and La Loquita think 'gibberish' from the show Pingu is Spanish..yikes!
Papa announced that on Saturday, he is giving a test. A Spanish test.
I have no idea what he's going to ask them, but he told them it would be stuff they very much should know.
The winner(s) will get $10 toward their Kindle acct for whatever they want to download. And those games will not be put on anyone else's Kindle for 2 weeks.
The loser (s) with more than 5 mistakes will lose their Kindle access for two weeks.
Now this hits particularly hard for Drama Mama who JUST got her Kindle this week (for her birthday on Friday).
Hope they work hard this week and take Spanish class seriously!! Papa was not so happy with their joking/goofing off attitudes today!
