District Examples

Elementary students write stories in Spanish to share with others.

Students researched a topic they were passionate about and collaborated with a person from a Spanish speaking country to larn more about the topic. They presented their topics in Spanish and had to communicate well enough with their collaborators and classmates to understand each other. This is also a great example of Curious and Critical Thinking.

3rd graders exchanged letters and ideas with students from a school affected by a hurricane.
