-Spanish:
Since we are talking about different languages, I thought it would be fun to start our study of Spanish.  Dad is speaking Spanish a lot these days in Guatemala.  Wouldn't it be fun to talk to Dad in Spanish.  Spanish is a fun language to learn because the sound of the letters doesn't change in different situations.  We might say 'e' as in "eat" or as in "red." Since the sounds the letters make are constantly the same, it makes it easy to sound words out, unlike English.  Let's start with the alphabet.  Do the Alphabet flash cards then the Bouncing Letter game.  Spanish Alphabet
