World Spanish is offered to all K-6 students that do not participate in the Spanish Immersion program. Sra. Neri, a native speaker originally from Mexico, sees students for 20-30 minutes twice a week engaging them through music, movement, stories, culture and critical thinking using over 90% Spanish during class. This program allows students to meet the following goals:

• Develop basic oral proficiency with a focus on real life speaking and listening
• Gain an appreciation of cultures different from their own
• Feel confident about learning a new World Language
• Develop soft skills that employers are looking for (creativity, problem solving, communication, collaboration)
