Tagged: bilingual, Durham, Mexico, North Carolina, student, teacherPosted on: January 29th, 2007“Every child has a story to share, a reason for being in teacher Matt Schewels second-grade class at Southwest Elementary School in Durham.
Seven-year-old Jack Wasielewski wants to talk with his grandmother in her native language, Spanish. Monserrat Banda, also 7, already speaks Spanish but wants to read it as well. Emma Conklin-Millers mother used to live in Mexico, and the 8-year-old wants to learn the language.
These and other students are part of a program at Southwest called Two-Way Language Immersion.”
