Today K's Spanish class went on a Scavenger hunt lesson. We went shopping for a spoken list of items, each team had an ipod with a playlist of spoken words from our teacher, Rachael.
I was the parent with one team, but I don't really speak Spanish. I was relying on the team to be able to listen to the words and I would help them find the things in the store.
Our team did fine for the fist half of the list, but then things got weirder and weirder. We went from simple items like "a blue towel, a yellow towel and a green towel" to "something blue with water for your head". My team guessed a blue showerhead! Then, "Somethingwith red water for your hands". We were a little stumped by this odd request, but then our team wanted me to direct them to the faucets, which had a hot and cold (red and blue) label. Then the next item was "something with water for your bottom" and I seriously doubted that our teacher wanted us to put a bidet in our shopping cart, so we stopped scavenging for items and went to find Rachael!
(We were all hearing the phrase incorrectly, adding the term "agua"- (water) to everything we listened to. We then went to find a blue hat and red mittens and were looking for underwear before deciding to call it quits. Since the other team beat us soundly!)
I am checking in with Rachael before we do this again. No more bidet shopping for our Spanish class!
