Aid辿 Villalobos starts her mornings by greeting third graders in Spanish as they walk into her classroom.
Posters on the walls are in Spanish and English,油helping students practice multiplication tables, read poems, sing songs and do science experiments in both languages.
Dual language programs,油like the one Villalobos teaches in rural Mason County, provide Washingtons K-5油students the opportunity to learn core subjects in English and a second language, with many students becoming fluent in both油by the time they leave elementary school.
