Introduction to World Languages 

Exploratory - World Language in sixth grade explores the beginnings of what it is to read, write, speak and listen to French and Spanish.  Along the way, students will be able to take a look at some of the cultures of the French and Spanish-speaking world.  By the end of these weeks, students will have the tools and experience to choose one language to focus on in seventh and eighth grade.
