During their con versation, it came up that Carte could speak Spanish. Although Carte took only two years of Spanish in col lege, she has traveled exten sively in Mexico over the years and her conversational Spanish is excellent. Carte began working with Bone's afternoon class two days each week. Initially, she worked individually with the children to introduce them to the computer program. Once familiar with the program, Carte worked with the class as a whole, introducing new words and phrases and reviewing past lessons.
Bone pays close attention to the Spanish lessons.
Working closely with Carte, Bone takes the information learned and relays it to her morning class. The students in the class have learned how to say their colors and numbers in Spanish, along with some commonly used words and phrases. The students greet Carte in Spanish, upon her arrival. During the lessons, Carte asks ques tions of the children in Spanish, who respond appropriately in their newly learned foreign tongue. Bone read a page in English, followed by Carte reading the same page in Spanish, much to the delight of the children.
