Once again, we are proud to welcome Primo, Ausra, Moises, and Isaura to our family! Charlotte is delighted to finally have brothers and sisters.
Moises and Isaura started kindergarten recently. We were a little worried at first because neither spoke much english. We forgot how easily young children pick up on languages! Moises, in particular, is doing excellently with reading-- he's doing better in school than some of his classmates who have spoken english since birth!
Primo, however, is having a bit more trouble. He's had some problems with teasing, and is struggling in school. We've gotten him an english tutor, a neigbor who speaks Spanish, and his grades have been improving. He's a big help with his younger brother and sister, though, and is very polite, though shy.
Ausra is an amazing girl, very smart for her age. She and Charlotte get along very well; they've been sharing a room. Ausra is a great reader, and quickly worked her way into the top class in her fifth grade.
