Besides, those college kids need some heavy theory ladden text books that cost a gazillion dollars. I do have a new Bilingual reference book that does a nice job of breaking things down, combining the theory and useful stuff. Need to add it to my reference list over on the Bilingual page. Till I get it there you may want to check out Language Disorders in Bilingual Children and Adults by Kathryn Kohnert, 2008. Sachan has daily computer activities this year so we need to work on that typing...will have her reply to your Alice post this afternoon. Oh, and let your new student know her secret is safe with us.

You make us feel like we are there with you. And like Aunt Kathy, very thankful no is afraid of her. Keep us updated because it sounds like it's going to be a very interesting year for child and parents. Wonderful description of Samantha and her take on things at her new school.

You and I can't and don't have to make this stuff up! Today one of my little Vietnamese (clearly) students came up to me and said, "Mrs. Whitt- I gotta tell you a secret. I'm Vietnamese.DON'T tell anybody!" Be forewarned about an increase in the ubiquitous use of "like." Soon it may take over her speech patterns if you are not vigilant. Nose piercings to follow, dude.
