Spanish
Language and communication are at the heart of the human experience. Learning to communicate in another language is critical to our students' ability to succeed in a global society. Our focus is to:
Ensure students receive quality instruction in the target language through an articulated, sequential program which prepares them for college, career, and life in a global society;
Provide opportunities for cultural and linguistic enrichment through authentic interactions and engaging instruction.
At Jackson Elementary, we are able to offer World Language instruction in Spanish to students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The program focuses on learning a second language through listening, speaking, singing, reading, and writing through developmentally appropriate activities. Instruction includes learning about the many countries and cultures and helps to support our IB global awareness objectives.Â
