Spanish Extra Club Finishes Up Strong
First through third graders at Spanish Oaks said goodbye to Spanish Extra. We finished the six week Spanish Extra club off with a small chips and salsa "fiesta"!
We had an awesome time learning some beginning Spanish. The students learned different words and phrases each week that they recorded in their dictionaries which they finally got to take home.
Great job, mis amigos!
