Tuesday 09/07/21 - Exciting News!!!
During open house many of you have asked me how could your children keep practicing Spanish once our class time would be other for the year, and during the summer! I am excited to share with you that PCA has invested in some digital resources for our Language Department via the subscription to a digital magazine (among other materials). This subscription opens a wide range of possibilities for our students, providing them with the best opportunities for immersion learning!!! Each magazine PCA has subscribed to come with worksheet activities, vocabulary notes and other tools that are both fun and engaging!
Therefore, your students will be all provided a code this week to allow them to access this wonderful resource and keep their Spanish going!
