We are two thirds of the way through the school year! So I recently gave the kids an evaluation of their speaking, reading and writing abilities in English. Here are some of the more interesting responses to the oral questions:
How many brothers and sisters do you have?
- have sisters three. brothers zero.
brother. sister no.

one brother y zero sister

two hermanos
one brothers and no sister
What is your grandfather’s name?
- grandfather

no
grandfather Don Manuel
grandfather’s name is Adrian
- What is your favorite activity?

**bonus points to the three students who answered differently: “swimming”, “study”, and the enigmatic “restaurant”
What furniture is in your bedroom?
- yes

My kids did a fantastic job!! They were such troopers about taking a “evaluation” that looked an awful lot like an exam. The lollipops helped…as did playing soccer when we were finished!
