[quote=Anonymous]My DCs (K, 2, and 3) are in full Spanish immersion and I have to say, it’s been a real struggle for us over the past three months. I see them losing their Spanish language skills already and struggling to retain language skills they had.

They are engaged in the remote learning, inclusive of specials, and DH and I are trying to add in more Spanish language books and Spanish online options - games, Kids shows, etc in Spanish.

Nevertheless, DH aren’t Spanish speakers so we don’t have the ability to talk to the kids in Spanish to keep the fluency up. We also work full time  so it’s been challenging just navigating the online forums let alone trying to supplement classroom time.

Am also disappointed that subjects like science are now in English; just one less opportunity to learn the language. The school has basically told parents to hire tutors or pay for online language resources if our kids are having trouble maintaining their language skills. We tried organizing “Spanish speaking play dates” via Zoom but the kids reverted to English despite best efforts of parents.

Feeling pretty discouraged. Wondering how other immersion families are navigating and keeping up language skills, especially those who don’t have native or proficient speakers (adults) at home. [/quote]
