My kiddos get Spanish twice a week so we do, Clase, clase.... Si, si.
ReplyDeleteI've done "La classe" "Oui!" (French) and I'm a big fan of "classity class class" - "Yessity yes yes!" and "Class (clap pattern)" "Yes (same clap pattern)"
ReplyDeleteI have just started including WBT in my blog this month. I started using WBT about halfway through the year last year and plan on starting with it day 1 this year! I LOVE your blog, and just linked to this post on my "Class Yes" post!
