totally amazing....

yesterday and today i have been in three way conferences with my students and their parents.  i have watched many of my students sit, read their work in English, and then instantly translate it into their home language--Khmer, Thai, Chinese.  crazy awesome!  i sit and listen in total amazement that they are able to do this.  i have a tough time thinking and speaking in English much less translating as i go.  AWESOME!
