The purpose of this program is to begin to teach a second language to children at a time when they are most receptive to language. Students in this program learn the same curriculum as students in the English language classroom. However, the language of the classroom is Spanish. English instruction is added in 2nd grade with science and social studies. Currently the program is part of the multi-age program at Bishop Elementary School. As the program develops courses will be expanded to Middle School and High School.
This website is run by parent volunteers. Our hope is that eventually this website will be supporting multiple classrooms. We also hope to identify resources, collect learning ideas and materials, and become a source of support for students in our program and others who wish to learn strategies to succeed with a second language for elementary age students.
We appreciate your feedback. Please contact us with your ideas to grow and improve our program and this website.
