Exploring World Languages Celebrating both Language and Culture Month and National Foreign Language Week, senior world language students at Deer Park High School prepared introductory language lessons in French, Italian and Spanish for the benefit of younger students in the district. After participating in video conferences with students at John Quincy
Adams Primary School and May Moore Primary School, they presented Language Exploration Days at both buildings. During these events, the high schoolers visited classrooms and used colorful songs, games and costumes as tools to teach and inspire the kindergartners, firstgraders and second-graders concepts such as numbers and colors in the district’s three world languages.
“These activities highlight the use of languages other than English,” said Gina Palasciano, Deer Park’s districtwide curriculum associate of world languages and ESL. “They provide our high school students with the opportunity to create fun and interactive language activities for elementary students in our district.”
