You Never Know How Much Your Kids Are Retaining
Submitted by Lesley Riendeau, Patriot Mom
Elle (Kindergarten - Mrs Bowen's class) and I went on a walk yesterday. While we were walking, I thought "what kind of school stuff can we go over while walking?". Latin words! We were going over all the ones we have learned each week when we walked by a house with an elderly lady outside on the phone. Elle VERY confidently points at her and says "Look Mom! She is senex - old!" Thankfully, the nice lady was on the phone and I want to believe she did not hear her. I could not help but laugh the rest of our walk and even today as I write this story.
I share this because even though it could have been very embarassing, I am so thankful that my little Kindergartener is learning Latin and applying it in life! What fun learning can be. You just never know what they are retaining and when it will come back out!
