Yay for Joseph!

So Hurray for Joseph! He was selected in the lottery for the Dual Language program! This means that he will be in a bilingual program where he will be learning spanish. They start in kindergarten and continue on to the 6th grade. He is so excited and we found out that 3 of his buddies were also selected. To give you the odds there are 24 kids total 12 spainish native speakers and 12 english native speakers (6 boys/ 6 girls in each category). There is a 7 year commitment and if you do not get on the waiting list the first year, you pretty much don't get in so we are super happy for him. We've been speaking little phrases here and there so he can learn some and we have checked out bilingual books from the library. It's a fun way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!
