School & words
Conversations overheard at kindergarten:
Blond Girl: "Julia doesn't talk English."
Boy: "What does she talk?"
Blond Girl: "Chinese."
Boy: "Oh. Ola!"
Steven: "Where is she from?"
Kenna: "China."
Steven: "Where is that?"
Kenna: "Somewhere in Hawaii."
We will be visiting Julia's school each day this week and next. The teachers say that Julia is improving. She knows no procedure -- doesn't know about lines, or sitting in reading circle, or taking turns, or going to the bathroom at a particular time, or waiting, or listening. But she is willing and wants to be with the kids in her class.
More words today -- table, bug, frog, alligator, hosta. Tonight, we watched a few scenes of the movie Babe and Julia became very excited when she heard words that she knew. She repeated the words she heard. She also comments freely during the movie. Oh, I wish I knew what she was saying.
