Learning Spanish Through Art 2005-2006

The Park Cultural Center, in partnership with Sunset Park’s Public School 169, launched its Learning Spanish through Art after-school program in September 2005. The purpose of this ongoing program is to teach kids from Spanish-speaking families how to read and write in their native language. We believe that teaching Spanish to these children deepens their capacity to learn English, and by using art as a learning tool we introduce a fun, hands-on approach that encourages imaginative thinking and creativity. From September 2005 through June 2006. We are in the classroom two times a day, three days a week with Mexican and other Latin American youth teaching and learning how to read and write in Spanish.
