GLES - GLobal Language @ Elementary Schools
We are very excited to announce beginning the week of 2/6, we have 4 classes on our campus that will be participating in a district provided Pilot Program called GLES.
The GLES lessons will serve to enhance global languages and cultural awareness by providing opportunities to expose students to various aspects of culture. Students will receive two 20 minute lessons per week for 5 weeks each of Mandarin, Korean, and Filipino language. They will also be able to access a GLES YouTube channel with lesson videos.
We look forward to having our classes participate in this Pilot Program, and look forward to continued language opportunities for all SRES students in the future.
