Love Creek students hold Spanish immersion showcase

June 20, 2022

Love Creek Elementary held a Spanish immersion showcase June 7, when students in kindergarten through third grade performed a song in Spanish for their peers to enjoy.

Kindergarten chose the song “Burbujas” because it was a fun song to learn and helped them review vocabulary they had learned in class. First grade chose the song “El Monstruo de la Laguna (The Lake Monster)” because music is one of the most effective ways to introduce a second language, as well as cultural knowledge.

After seeing award-winning Latin American singer Sonia De Los Santos perform at Cape High May 17, second-graders fell in love with the bilingual lyrics and message of hope described in her song “Esperanza.” Third-grade immersion students sang a recreated version of the Disney “Encanto” song “La Familia Madrigal.”

“Disney’s ‘Encanto’ was a hit in our class this year and students thought it would be fun to remake the song by changing the lyrics to represent our third-grade immersion class this year,” said second-grade Spanish immersion teacher Anna Tomko.
