Students Expand Spanish Vocabulary



If you’ve been inside the school lately, you may have noticed the appearance of bilingual labels on various parts of the building. These signs are part of teacher Nathalie Romero’s efforts to increase the everyday use of Spanish by our students. 

During a recent visit to Senora Romero’s second grade Spanish class, the children enthusiastically shared their knowledge of the language while working on related assignments. The children could list colors, animals, and names for family members.

“We get to play games and color,” one child explained after pointing out the sentences she had written in both English and Spanish. “It’s always fun.”
