[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can a current PS3 or PK4 parent talk a little about the spanish?[/quote]

Very pleased Bethune PK3 parent here. Probably right that teachers don't use Spanish 100% of the time in Spanish classes, but my child has learned a lot and is very interested in learning the language. Loves the teachers too. Initiates games at home where we switch between Spanish and English when counting, naming shapes and colors, etc. and often wants to look up words on phone or Spanish-English picture dictionaries we have, so I certainly see that value of it being a brain workout and fun for a child who entered PK3 with English literacy skills above most peers. Who knows after several years, but I don't except real fluency since home support is just one parent who took middle school and high school Spanish. Unable to compare to PK3 Spanish at other schools... not sure there will be anyone able to share experience with both Bethune and another dual-immersion preschool program.[/quote]

Thanks!

Is it full day immersion?[/quote]

Approx 1/2 day. Whether morning or afternoon switches each quarter.[/quote]
