World Language Week is a week that 8th grade students will show 6th graders what they learned in their language classes. They will attend 6th grade social studies class, and teach 6th graders a few words they learned in the class, and they will make slideshows with it to make the explanation better. Maybe they will teach how to play a game, like rock, paper, scissor, shoot in other language.
In the World Language Week, people will pass out pins, and you should put it on to your clothes where teachers can see. When a teacher sees it, they will give you a ticket, and if you get 5 of them, you can get a dollar off for lunch!
You will see posters around the school. There are different flags on the posters, and maybe there are different languages near the flag!
Different teachers teach different things. We have five languages in the building. English count as one, and we have Latin, Chinese, French, and Spanish.
World language week starts on the first week of February. There will be parents coming to do international presentation in world language classes. But nothing is happening after school, which means everything happens in school day. This means some students that don’t stay after schools don’t miss anything.
You will be dressing up in different colors for World Language Week. The colors will be the colors of each country’s flag, like China has a red flag, so we wear red on the Chinese day (Thursday). On the other days, like Latin day (Monday), you wear purple and gold, Spanish on Tuesday, and you wear yellow and red, French is on Wednesday, you wear red, white, and blue. On the special Friday, you can wear clothes to represent where you are from, where you’ve been, or where you’d like to go.
Language teachers will switch classes, for example, Latin teacher goes to Chinese class to teach Latin, and Chinese teacher go to Latin class to teach Chinese. We will also have special lunches during special language days.
