Will someone check my translation of this text from a grammar book?

I am working the first exercise in the Icelandic grammar, texts, glossary book by Stefán Einarsson. My translation is:

Hvað gerir Bjössi? Hann er kennari. Hvar er hann? Hann er uppi í skóla. Hvar eru Siggi, Gunna og Valdi? Siggi og Valdi eru úti, en Gunan er uppi. Hún er hjá mömmu. Hvar eru pabbi? Hann er ekki heima, hann er úti. Hver er að læra? Siggi, Gunna og Valdi eru að læra.

For learning: Icelandic

Everything's correct except for the sentence: Hvar eru pabbi? Pabbi is in singular so the verb "að vera" should be singular too. The sentence should be like this: Hvar er pabbi? "Eru" is the third person plural.

Great work though, I'm impressed. Icelandic is a very difficult language to learn but you seem to be doing pretty good, keep it up!:D
