Why does the word sound so scary, daunting, and intimidating??
It doesn't have to be.
Teachers have the opportunity to have freedom in the classroom. Freedom to teach their students what they feel is important and of value. The tricky part is finding a way to cover yourself in the standards. It's very possible. The effort just has to be made.
Following a spanish integration approach in the classroom can be applied to scope and sequence standards (http://singnspeak.com/). Teachers need to be creative in thinking about how standards are being met through the use of other languages.
So that means no more excuses. There is plenty of room and time to incorporate Spanish in the classroom. Make the EFFORT. It doesn't have to be perfect the first time. Start small and simple and grow from there!
