What is the PYP?
Exposure to and experience with language, opens doors to key questions about life and learning, and encourages students to develop responsible attitudes and find appropriate ways to take action, in order to make a difference in the world.

Preston Hollow Elementary is a “candidate school” for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. An integral part of the PYP Framework is learning a second language. The PYP document Making the PYP Happen states, “A PYP school provides the opportunity for all students to learn more than one language. Exposure to and experience with language, in all its richness and diversity, opens doors to key questions about life and learning, and encourages students to develop responsible attitudes and find appropriate ways to take action, in order to make a difference in the world.”
At PHE students in grades 1-5 will receive Spanish everyday for about 30 minutes. Instead of coming to another class to learn, I will be coming into their home classrooms to teach.
