We were in the cereal aisle of the grocery store yesterday and I asked the girls to pick ot something healthy. H looked at one box - “Mom – this cereal has rice, corn and SAND!!!!” She pointed to the box and there it was – Arroz, Maiz y Arena.
It took us a minute before we realized that it was written in a strange font, and the last ingredient was Avena (Oats).
Aside from this silly moment, there was also happiness that my kids are finally making regular daily connections with spanish, making some regular translations with ease (as long as the fonts aren’t funky)!

That is great. The joy of seeing our kids make those Spanish connections is SO rewarding!

Sand is healthy-it exfoliates your insides……

They learn lots of ways. My granddaughter always say “PEROOO” when we happen to us this common work in conversation. She gets a kick out of letting us know it sounds like pedo. We found that kids enjoy singing and reciting as they learn Spanish. Even if they just mouth nonsense that sounds like Spanish, they are learning the intonation of the language and it is a basis for further learning.
