Speaking in Tongues

Last Thursday our school showed a movie called Speaking in Tongues. This movie is about 4 kids on a journey to become bilingual.

The leadership team sold popcorn and we had dinner from three different cultures.

The lights went down, the movie started. Half of the fifth grade was moving up and down the halls guiding the smaller kids to different stations while the adults enjoyed the movie.

I enjoyed this movie because it made me think about diversity in different languages from a whole new point of view.

Do you know anyone that goes to a dual language school????????? If so, please leave a comment. We'd love to hear from you.

El grito del valle

We celebrated EL GRITO DEL VALLE at Dillon Vally Elementary again last month. We do it every year close to the 16th of September in honor of Mexico and Latin's America's Independence. We had a lot of activities like a 1.5K and 5K run, face painting, dancers from Mexico, and lots of great food and drinks.

Presidenta en Costa Rica

Today we connected with our friends in Costa Rica via our wiki. We were both working on our wiki at the same time sharing what has been happening in our classes and working on our collaborative stories. We also learned that Costa Rica just voted in their first woman president a few weeks ago. ¡Qué chévere!

In the video below Shannon shares what she learned from Mariana.
