So, my little new-from-Mexico kinder was frustrated because she wanted to play with the other girls and thought they weren't going to let her. So I went over to find out what the game was and explain to her how to play.
Girl 1: We're playing "bats."
Girl 2: Bird-bats.
Girl 3: With beautiful wings in lots of bright colors. And we have claws. We scratch the trees.
Girl 4: And those girls over there are the mom.
Yeah. Makes perfect sense to me...
The ELL students are mainly confused because their English proficient peers make absolutely no sense, it seems.
I got too many new releases at the library, and I don't have work tomorrow! Plus this week I got two new kids to tutor (extra money!) and two new kids in my chess club (no extra money, and actually more work for me, but still, my nerd posse is rollin ten deep!) I'm so excited I may need to go lie down!
