My Students

Hola! Did you know that Spanish is the second most common language spoken at home in Minnesota? Spanish is the fastest growing language group in the United States. Studies find that bilingual children demonstrate increased engagement and performance at school. My K-5, Title I, elementary school inaugurated the only Spanish immersion program in Northern Minnesota with two kindergarten classes this year! Each year the program will add a grade and grow. We are expecting up to three new classes of Spanish immersion kindergarten in addition to the two classes of first grade next school year. Spanish immersion prepares our children for the future by exposing them through language to diverse cultural perspectives.

Help put Spanish language books into the hands of our children!

Students need Spanish language books to expand their learning experience from conversation to reading. Our library has a limited collection of Spanish language books, but not nearly enough to meet the demand of the Spanish Immersion program.

My Project

L Elementary School in MN is piloting a new Spanish immersion program this year. It has never been done in this part of Minnesota. Our students need Spanish language materials to check out from the school library that cover a wide span of reading levels and subjects to spark their interest. Students are excited to visit the library every 8 days. They are ready to begin reading books en español at their level. We want to bridge the gap with Spanish language materials from antelope to zebras and stories to tickle the funny bone. We are starting with very limited resources and want to accommodate the growing demand for Spanish language books.
