Elementary+Foreign+Language

Edgewood Gifted Services along with P.A.G.E (Parent Advocates for Gifted Education) offer a nine week Foreign Language session yearly for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders in our elementary buildings in the fall to become introduced to three basic foregin languages: French, German and Spanish. These sessions are taught by high schools students from Edgewood High School and cover the basics of that particular language. Examples: greetings, family members, colors, numbers, and the alphabet. Gifted staff or assigned parents will be on hand for adult supervision, clean-up and emergencies. Students are given a snack/drink each week and paper lessons for a one time nominal fee to be paid in advance. Anytime your student is absent they will receive that weeks lesson in their homeroom teachers mailbox the next day.

This has proven to be a very benifical program to introduce students to foreign languages before they reach the middle school where classes are actually available to them.

Registration for the fall session will begin September 1st and classes will start in October. Please fill out the appropriate forms and return to Gifted Services by September 30th.
