Spanish lesson today. It was great! Gloria is very creative in her delivery, and flexible in response to the children's suggestions. Gloria observed, and told Austin that he makes associations all the time. This really helps him to remember vocabulary. Austin was trying to help Simon remember "tortuga," for "turtle," and he explained that it's the name of an island from Pirates of the Caribbean. I noticed that Austin can often come up with 2-3 word associations for each new vocabulary word. He's building his vocabulary fast!
We are reading "Schooled," by Gordon Korman. Austin is enjoying it, but isn't as gripped as he was, by the Olympians series.
Swimming lessons from 3:30-4:15. Austin was keen to go, and we could see he was enjoying himself, diving down at every stroke. I was thinking, he will find that swimming style to be useful when snorkelling in the Caribbean! He got a good workout.
Music lessons tonight.
