Since my multi-lingual class in the Tenderloin regularly sings "Five little monkeys jumping on the bed..." with the City College Childhood Observation Class teacher - this week's story was easy to read in English for all children to enjoy. I have been alternating a story in English with a story in Spanish each week - trying to translate one direction of the other bits and pieces of the story to maintain the interest of all my students. If I spoke Chinese and Vietnamese as well, I could be reaching each and every one of my students in their mother tongue!
