South Of The Border In Spanish Class the students learn how to speak, read and write in Spanish. They do this through hard work and practice. They are taught Spanish like we were taught English. But they also h ve a lot of fun learning about Mexico and Spain by film strips, movies and Ms. Sworthwood ' s slides of other class trips to Mexico. Ms. Sworthwood also makes different kinds of fam- ous Spanish dishes which the students get to taste. Spanish is a fun and interesting language to learn. It may also help you in the future.
