Hello Navy Community,
Third-grade students in Mrs. McKinney's and Mrs. Alcocer's Spanish class performed a play titled "El Insecto Busca un Amigo" (The Insect Searches for a Friend). Through this fun and interactive experience, our budding thespians not only reinforced reading, writing, listening, and speaking in the target language, but also provided an opportunity for them to explore theatrical expression. Moreover, students utilized all five Portrait of a Graduate skills while reinforcing, research and vocabulary while boosting their confidence in public speaking skills. We are very proud of our talented Navy STAR performers!
