[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he already fluent in Spanish?  If not, he's not eligible to enter Key.  You can only enter as a non-native Spanish speaker as a K or 1st grader.[/quote]

He’s not a Spanish speaker at all. I noted that when I entered the lottery. Is it possible they extended that requirement to 2nd due to Covid?  Honestly I’d love for this to be a non issue- if he’s not eligible this is all moot! [/quote]
He'll need to be able to learn 2nd grade math taught entirely in Spanish from the get go.  Can he do that?  Immersion isn't like taking a Spanish class.  They teach math in Spanish.  If he doesn't understand, then he won't learn 2nd grade math.

This year my kindergartener learned to count to 100 in Spanish, plus she can skip count (by 5s and 10s) and do addition and subtraction all in Spanish.  She also knows shapes and colors and can follow basic directions.  She can talk about more and less than in Spanish.  All math vocabulary.  [/quote]

Sorry I re-read this.  He definitely cannot count to 100 but he can count to ten, knows his colors in two foreign languages, including Spanish, can do shapes.  No other math vocabulary though. [/quote]
