Welcome to Grange Hall, 2nd grade style

Second graders have been learning about the School Community so far this year.  They have reviewed the words for the people in school and they have learned the different resource classes in Spanish and all of the rooms in the school in Spanish.  Now they would like to welcome you all to our beautiful little school with a short video introducing you to the school in Spanish.  

I hope it's understandable.  It's hard to get so many children to say the same thing at the same time.  But it was fun touring the school and saying the words in Spanish.  Your children are a joy to work with every day.  Thank you for the opportunity to teach them!
