One of the many benefits of homeschooling is the opportunity to tailor your homeschool program to teach and preserve your family’s history, culture, and values. So how do you do that? One mom offers her family’s method on today’s Home School Heartbeat, with HSLDA President Mike Smith. Mike Smith: Diana Trejo: With my first son, I had spoken exclusively Spanish to him until the day that we started preschool. He was pretty shocked and a bit scared when I started speaking English to him. With the other children, it has been more of a struggle to maintain the Spanish as the little ones learn English from their siblings. I try to only speak English with the children when we do school and make them speak Spanish to me thereafter. Sometimes I have ask them translate what they have said to me in English into Spanish. I have them watch any DVDs in Spanish, if possible. And this coming school year, we will begin to formally study Spanish grammar. Also, something that has helped us all is having our daily family Bible reading in Spanish and being part of a Hispanic local church. Mike: |
