Thank you Nickelodeon

This is going to be short. Not only because Zumba kicked my ass, but because it's button week and I need to save my fine motor skills.

Today I was giving the diagnostic preschool test to one of my English Language Learners.  The test is basically to find out where the child is developmentally.  Point to your nose.  Can you jump? Hop 3 times. Etc.  In the afternoon, I administered the exam to H, my student who only speaks Arabic.

When I asked H what color the block was, he responded "blueberry".  Okay, I thought, I'll give it to him.  We just had our berry exploration and he's probably remembering that blueberries are blue.  Then I asked him what color the yellow block was.  I couldn't describe the look on his face, but it was somewhere between confident and excited, as he shouted "sunshine".  His dad told told me last week during a home visit that H has been learning English from watching Nickelodeon.  This is what happens when kids learn English from a TV show. I love my life.

Goodbye Teachers and Friends,
Miss Glass
