Thanks to the generosity of Señora Smith and the students in her Spanish 1 class at Vanden High School, our Spanish Immersion class has 90 bilingual books for their classroom.

The final literacy project for Señora Smith's three Spanish 1 classes was to create a bilingual book for children choosing from 8 topics they learned in Spanish 1. The topics were:

The books are bilingual, illustrated, and gifts of literacy. Each student included a biography in Spanish and a picture at the end of their creation. The authors reinforced their literacy while encouraging children to pursue bilingualism. As their Instructor, Señora Smith watched each student create a book worth sharing. Each of the 90 books are as special and individual as their authors.

The completed book were delivered to the Spanish Immersion class at Cambridge. The children delighted in reading the books to each other and to Mr. Morales and Señora Smith. Thank you!
