The Night Before....

My sons begins his formal education 13 hours from now, when he will walk into a classroom where the teacher will speak in Spanish. 
I told him that Sra. Olvera only speaks Spanish.  He said, "The first day, I will listen because I don't speak Spanish, but the second day I am going to talk."
If only I were as confident as him. 
He is so excited to go to school FIVE days a week.  He keeps telling his little sister that he is going to miss her, but that she can play his LeapFrog game any time she wants to play.
As an ESL teacher, I have my own reservations about a dual immersion program.  My son can't read in English yet, but he is going to learn to read first in Spanish.
