All students in grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 participate in Spanish instruction for 60 minutes a week. Language training activities are geared to the child’s interest level and include experiences with cultural practices and integration of thematic content. Spanish is integrated in all content areas. These experiences emphasize listening, speaking, reading and comprehension in meaningful, communicative contents: social/cultural situations, games, songs, and rhymes plus experiences with arts, crafts, movement and total physical response.
