Six Languages

That's how many languages are spoken in my class this year so far. Let's see if I can remember them all: Enlgish, Spanish, Greek, Arabic, MaiMai, and Navajo. I have a couple of Spanish speakers who are new to the country. And the two who speak MaiMai are refugees. Other than that they do a pretty good job with English. Although there's always a disparity between their social language skills and their academic skills. All in all it's been a good start to the year. I'm looking forward to getting to know them all.
