pobre - The end goal for DD’s TK is to identify 10 letters...she’s reading at almost a 2nd grade level. We’re counting on the structure and schedule and girl friend social hour for development. I don’t have any desire to skip grades, but I’m also looking at all the things I can do for extracurriculars to keep her brain moving.

pobre - we’ve done two years of immersion pre-school and are doing an after school Spanish program this year. Today her teacher gave me the title of an extra workbook, because she’s translating things for her classmates. She also has a native speaker for her Friday nanny, who would love to do the homework with her. We’re definitely entering the lottery for the K immersion program. They say there’s no “weight” in having done the pre-school, but every kid she’s gone with has gotten in the lottery. 🤞 This kid needs more things happening in her brain or she’s going to end up doing drugs out of sheer boredom like the rest of us.

I’m glad that you guys see the importance of social development, I get so frustrated in parent conferences when the parents are like “academics are great so all good” and I’m like “well we need to work on some friendship skills” or “build some resilience” and they’re like “why?”.

Maybe I should say “so they don’t start doing drugs Karen” instead? Lol

loony their Spanish immersion is true immersion. No English at all. The goal is to speak at a native level by 5th grade.

We’re also geared to be fluent by 5th. The preschool director’s daughter led an adult tour group in Spain last summer...she was 11. Goals!

I found a hip hop dance program for ds today. Finally. He’s so stoked! He starts tomorrow. It’s been a good 5 months since he was in dance classes.

Not going to lie, ds being able to speak fluent Spanish for our trips to Mexico is on my mind.

Well that’s amazing. Not going to lie, ds being able to speak fluent Spanish for our trips to Mexico is on my mind. My brother is one of the few fluent Spanish speaking geophysicists in the world...don’t skin suit me. If she can be fluent as a child, it opens up so many doors that I don’t have. My Spanish is eh, ok, but if I was actually fluent, I would be a front runner in my field. TX/CA...it’s a skill that will mean not only cultural and brain growth, but job longevity in whatever field. ETA: and she loves it. I wouldn’t push if she wasn’t interested. Her barbies are pretty much already telenovelas!
