2 Days In...

Just finished the second day of school, and boy am I exhausted!  My love of young children always makes me forget the work it takes in the beginning to acclimate them to "Big School"!  Their endearing little faces and sweet voices recharge me everyday, and everyday we get a little further down the road to becoming a little "School Family".  As tired as I am at the end of the day, I still can't imagine doing anything else with my life!
May you be encouraged, recharged, and enlightened everyday by antics of 5 year olds!!!

Welcome to my blog!

I have been dabbling with different ways to communicate online, district teacher website (too limiting in the cuteness factor), then last year I tried a weebly, this year I have decided to try blogging! I love all the ways to share in this domain, it will allow me to touch base with parents and teachers!
As stated in my blog title, I am a kindergarten teacher in a Dual Language program. Last year was our first year to implement this exciting new program, and the results were amazing! Our program is a 50/50 two-way program where half of our classes are native English speakers, and the other half are native Spanish speakers. This allows our students to have a "model" for the alternate language. In the 50/50 model, our students get half of their instruction in English and half in Spanish. They will continue in the program until 5th grade, when they will be...bilingual...biliterate...and bicultural! How exciting is that?
