Mrs. Brontmire is a teacher at the E.G. King Elementary School in Layton. WITH A minor in the Spanish language and teaching experience in the bilingual elementary schools of California, Mrs. Brontmire got permission at the first of the school year to teach some foreign language in her second grade classroom. The response by students and parents has been good. THE STUDY of Spanish was intergrated with regular school work. Students were taught to say the names of colors, days of the week, months, seasons and some science words in Spanish. Directions and questions were spoken in Spanish by the teacher and the students. When a student wanted to leave the room or sharpen a pencil, the request had to be made in Spanish. Each student kept a Spanish book that contained words, sentences and pictures. The written work was done in English and Spanish. Illustrations helped the child remember what the Spanish words said. IT WAS fun when the children were required to learn the Pledge of Allegience to the Flag in Spanish. In preparation for the Spanish Fiesta, each boy made a Serape. The girls all made or shawls. The designs on these simple cotton gard or ments were crayon-draw- n by the students. Girls had extra rosy cheeks for the occasion and the boys all hand-painte- Students at E.G.
