Where going havo?: First Grade
http://wheregoinghavo.blogspot.com/2014/10/first-grade.html
Exploring (not just) bilingualism and its role in our life. Wednesday, October 1, 2014. Today marks one month into the new school year. We had some changes this year, because M is going to preschool half-days (has to learn Czech somewhere) and K finished preschool/kindergarten and started homeschooling first grade. With all of that, it's actually kind of surprising we have done any school at all! We're busy with math, spelling and handwriting (English print and Czech cursive) and spent quite a bit of tim...

Exploring (not just) bilingualism and its role in our life. Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Reading Aloud and Reinforcing the Community Language. My five-year-old just finished 'reading' the one-year-old a book, in almost the exact words as it's written. When I was her age it was Ernie and Bert's "I Can Do It Myself" (a.k.a. my personal motto at the time). For K, it's O Perníkové chaloupce, about Hansel and Gretel. For instance, she's asked me before about the sentences "Děti vzaly nohy na ramena" (an unfa...

Exploring (not just) bilingualism and its role in our life. Wednesday, July 24, 2013. After the park-aversion of the last two years and the parkless wasteland that was this spring I am now making it all up to my children by going to the park almost every day. I am pretty pleased that he hasn't hit anyone or flipped out when someone touches his motorka, takes a toy away, or similar. He handles it very well so far. We don't have any playgroups to go to so this is his main opportunity for social int...It wa...

Well, there's a lot to cover about Stinkerbella's language development over the last few months and I should really be in bed.but at the rate things are going I'm just going to have to give up some sleep to do everything I want to do in a day! Thanks for your recent comment on my blog, at which point I realized that I hadnt read your blog lately, perhaps because I had neglected to add it to my blogroll.

Exploring (not just) bilingualism and its role in our life. Thursday, April 25, 2013. Starting the Language Explosion - without actually talking. M is signing up a storm. I know I said that before. But the storm is even bigger now. He is constantly on the look-out for things he recognizes so he can point them out to us and do the sign. And if it happens to be a word he can say, then he joyfully proclaims it: "Ball! The Slovak is on a business trip at the moment and for the past day or so M has been point...

Exploring (not just) bilingualism and its role in our life. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Translating Poetry - harder than it looks. K has been experimenting with translation recently. I taught her the old rhyme: "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! We were on the way to get ice cream at the time. Once she had memorized it, she said, "I know what it is in Czech. Já křičím, ty křičíš, my všichni křičíme na zmrzlinu. (pause) It doesn't rhyme that way. But I said it right.". Monday, July 28, 2014.
