Children in PreK and K will be learning basic Spanish. If they were in Spanish before, they will be reinforcing their skills. K has Spanish twice a week for 20 minutes on Mondays and Tuesdays. PreK 3 has Spanish on Mondays for 20 minutes. PreK 4A has Spanish on Wednesdays for 20 minutes. PreK 4B has Spanish on Mondays for 20 minutes.
