My first graders are learning in two languages through their participation in the Spanish and English Dual Immersion Program.
Located in the rural central coast, we are a high-poverty school with most of our students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. Homelessness, gang violence, and hunger are other obstacles interfering with my students' focus and learning. Many of our parents work in the fields in the local agriculture industry and some of our students are migrant students, having to move schools during the seasons. Despite all these odds, my students are enthusiastic and eager to learn. They feel proud of their heritage and maintaining their Spanish language.
