Elementary School Foreign Languages

Jamaal Abdul-Alim:

That's about all the time she has if you add up all the 15-minute Spanish lessons she gives twice a week to kindergartners at Stormonth Elementary School.

"¿Cómo mueve la rana?" Harris asked the students, posing in Spanish the question: "How does the frog move?"
