NBAMS 6th grade Spanish students spent a week creating games to teach Kindergarten Spanish students basic conversation words. The 6th graders then visited the Ed Center and spent the class period teaching and playing their games with the younger students. As it was such a beautiful day, the classes met outside to learn under the sun. Sounds like fun!
Photos from Gameday at Sunrise and the Ed Center are posted at the district Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/nbapschools. Check it out!
