The school offers the Spanish immersion education program which teaches students in Spanish for at least half the day.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Eagerly reading from the pages of a Magic Tree House book, you could tell by the inflection in her voice that fifth grader London Emerson was excited to read in Spanish in front of the class.
“Your Spanish just starts to flow and then you’re able to talk and you start putting words into sentences and then it kind of clicks,” she said. Explaining to her fifth grade students the differences in the states of matter, DeDe Alexander used visual mediums to teach her students in Spanish. When they speak back to her in Spanish, she’s able to see the progress they’ve made in a little over a year.
As she sang songs with them in Spanish on Monday, she taught them about healthy versus unhealthy habits. Nita Jain is a parent at the school who has kindergarten and fourth grade students. She said it’s been valuable seeing the way that her fourth grade student has progressed and she’s excited for her kindergartner to do the same.
