Hispanic Heritage Month

On Saturday, September 19th the Miller Outdoor 

Theater hosted the Ambassadors International Ballet

Folklorico dancers.  A couple of our students joined

in on the dancing!   For more information on National 

Hispanic Heritage month go to  Hispanic Heritage.  

Spanish in the classrooms

It can be a difficult task to teach a new language to young ones but with the help of teachers the skills learned can be a continuous experience that becomes a permanent part of their days.  Here are a few examples of how Roberts teachers are supporting the second language learner.  

Mrs. Punch takes it to a whole new level having most of her regular boards in both languages!

Mrs. May's calendar time includes Spanish weather words.

Mrs. Wayman's class Spanish section!  My favorite decor so far! 

Mr. Shahriari's space theme is inspiring!

Mrs. Punch even has the basics like numbers and colors in both Spanish and English.  Amazing work!

Mrs. May has a whole door dedicated to what we have learned in Spanish.

Mrs. Peng has even labeled the area in Spanish. (We will correct that "n".)  LOL!

Mrs. Sheets has a whole workstation area with books flash cards and other activities!  Above and beyond!!

I am so grateful that the teachers have embraced the second language learning process and will continue to highlight some of their great efforts.
