Ted just called on his way to the train after the conference with Teddy's teacher. Apparently he's doing very well. In fact last year when we arrived because Teddy skipped the end of Kindergarden and the 1st half of Year 1 he was put in special reading classes to help him catch up. Now, he's not only out of those classes, he's one of the better readers in his class! Well done Teddy!!!
The funny part is that Teddy is now apparently bi-lingual. No, I don't mean the occasional words in Spanish I throw out to him, he speaks American. His teacher had to ask him what Americans call nappies because she couldn't remember so Teddy translated it to diapers. I guess there are a couple of words Teddy had to translate for her. Also, he's having a little difficulty learning measurements. Since we don't speak Metric at home that's messing him up a bit. I know it's a little difficult in the beginning when learning 2 languages but when he gets older it'll be handy being able to speak multiple languages. Maybe he can get a job as a translator!
An American family living in Australia. While we all speak English here, I wouldn't say we all speak the same language.
