In our second class (Wed, Nov. 7), I mentioned that I'd like you to post on this blog with any words or phrases that you think would be especially useful to your specific position! Then I can respond (or we can discuss in class, if there's time), with how to say that word or phrase in Spanish!
For example, someone in our class today discussed children running wild at her branch and wanted to know how to ask "Where is your mother?." In Spanish, you would ask: "¿Dónde está tu madre?" (Please note: we will always be learning "usted" as you and "su" as your in our class, because it's the form that demonstrates respect. With young children, however, it is appropriate to use the informal "tu").
What would you like to know how to say?!

Buenos Dias Denise,
Now that we know the words for pencil and pen. What are the words for crayon, scissors and glue? We use these words quite often in craft programs.
Gracias, Diane (alias Kitty Kat)
¡Gracias para su pregunta, Diane/Kitty Kat!
Crayon is “lapis de cera” (which actually means “pencil of wax” or wax pencil).
Scissors are “tijeras.”
For glue, I always say “goma,” but I think a better translation would be “pegamento.” So you should learn it as "pegamento," as this is also similar to the verb "to glue," which is "pegar."
