Even though we had a bazillion things to do on Saturday, including Cameron’s soccer picture day and Dylan and Cameron’s overlapping soccer games, packet pick-up for the next day’s SuperKids Tri, and heading over to Cindy’s house for Jason’s 13th (!!!) bday celebration, Cameron and I took the time to stop by the Dos Alas play date at Grant Street Park.
This was organized so that Dos Alas families can get to know one another better. I was sort of hoping we’d see more Kindergartners there, but alas, there were few–just 2 from Teacher Shanna’s class, and just Cameron and Jasper from Maestra Zuniga’s!
Still, Cameron had fun. She was initially very shy, but she did eventually play with a little girl named Sotyo (from the other class) and her little bro.
Cameron is still managing as well as one could hope! She already knows more Spanish words than I do and she sings and speaks in Spanish every single day (her teacher kindly shared the music that they listen to in class and she wants to listen to the songs daily). She even prefers to hear the Frozen soundtrack in Spanish!!
The other very cool thing about all of this is that Chloe is repeating words, too, and singing along as well.
We are very hopeful that Cameron will be able to see this program through–at the pumpkin patch, Rio’s dad and I talked briefly with one of the teachers who had mentioned that some kids really struggle all the way until the 5th grade! I don’t think Cameron will be one of these kids, but Tom and I did discuss the possibility and agree that if she is falling far behind, we’ll go ahead and put her back into a traditional classroom.
