I wish my daughter had a Spanish speaking friend to help her in Her Spanish. I am a Spanish speaking mom, but with no other Spanish speakers in our group of friends it is hard to teach her all Spanish. How did you do it? Do you have any suggestions on how I can help her? She is in 1st grade now.

I’m Spanish,my husband is English and we live in England, Our daughter Matilda is 17 months old and she doesn’t speak much, just a few things mostly is Spanish, but she understands everything in both languages, I suppose is just a matter of time..

I’m so proud of Vanessa. It’s kind of crazy to me (as a teacher myself) to think that it can take this long for some of those connections to happen, but it sure will help, socially and academically!

I had the opportunity to more formally introduce myself to this little boy’s father yesterday afternoon while we were waiting for our children to come out of school. After finding a bit more about their situation, I offered my help in case they ever needed it. He, in fact, told me he was absolutely delighted with the school and our kids’ teacher and everything they’ve done to make the transition smoother.

While I cannot speak for what happens within the school as I’m only privy to what happens while we wait for the children to go in in the morning maybe twice a week (since I work full time and my husband and I take turns) and once in a blue moon in the afternoons while we wait for them to come out, I have to say that I’ve also been delighted with her, the way she is with the children, and how open and genuinely interested in my daughter’s bilingualism.
