Qu ensean en el programa de Inmersion?What is taught in the Spanish Immersion program?All classes are taught Common Core State Standards. These standards aretaught through district-wide adoptedcurriculum available in both Spanish andEnglish. Depending on percentages for his/hergrade your child will receive that instruction(the same in any other class), while the language may be different.

CurriculumK.2 Students recognize national and state symbols and icons such as the national and state flags, the bald eagle, and the Statue of Liberty. In every kindergarten class students will learn to identify national symbols. In Spanish Immersion classes they learn the exact same facts but all in Spanish. Teachers are trained in Strategies that incorporate TPR, GLAD, Sheltered Instruction and Scaffolding to deliver information in a manner that is most comprehensible to Spanish learners.

Retos?Challenges?Kindergarten can be a challenge for any child. You know your child best.

The very nature of adding another language to the mix of factors for Kindergarten can be very rewarding but also challenging to some children.

AssessmentsAll Immersion students will be required by law to take the CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) in 3rd -6th grade in English.All Immersion students will also be assessed in reading, writing, and math using Local Measures in Spanish and English.

Parent CommittmentThe Spanish Immersion program is a 7 year commitment. A language takes 5-7 years to develop at near-native fluency. While you see a great deal of growth early on, this does NOT indicate that your child is Bilingual and Biliterate, yet.Consistent student attendance and parental support are critical to the success of our students in the program.
