WHAT IS SPANISH IMMERSION?

At Glendale, Spanish is taught at each grade level through the math and science curricula and daily conversation. We also develop reading, writing, and speaking in Spanish.  Research shows that students participating in immersion programs have more flexibility in thinking, greater sensitivity to language, and better listening skills.  Grade-level teams, the librarian, and related arts teachers collaborate to provide a rich learning environment which challenges students to reach their full potential, and highlights the Spanish culture throughout the entire school.  By celebrating diversity through art, music, drama, dance, and storytelling, teachers work together to challenge, excite, and support all students as they embark on a lifelong learning adventure.
