Tres mariposas

The boys are attending a school called 3 Mariposas which they will gladly tell you means "three butterflies."  It is a Montessori school run by an amazing American woman named Sarah Ross and her wonderful Dominican volunteers.  Before we left for our trip, Jasper and Fletcher collected supplies for the school and we arrived with loads of toothbrushes and toothpaste  to share with our new friends.


As for the boys, their opinions of the school are as follows:

Jasper:  It's awesome!  I really like Sarah.  It reminds me of the Montpelier Montessori School.

Fletcher:  I like the pins and one board work.

Graham:  I just don't wanna say anything.  (Graham has an earache today and is quite grumpy.  No swimming for 3 days!)

Earlier today Graham, Fletcher and Jasper were engaged in some learning Spanish - Here's my first attempt at uploading a video.  Enjoy.

    What are they saying? I thought I studied enough Spanish to understand pre-school attempts at language, but not so. Great to see a smile on G's face! More videos, please!
    Love you all!

    The video shows Graham participating in the morning circle time at 3 MM. They're talking about the weather: "Hoy esta haciendo sol," I think (please correct my Spanish, language people!) which means "Today it's sunny."
