We recently find out that Delaney was selected to be part of the Dual Language Immersion Program in our school district. There is only one dual immersion kindergarten class in the whole district so competition was tough. The class is 13 native English speakers and 13 native Spanish speakers.
About 3 weeks ago, Melissa and I had to go in for an interview with some teachers and the administrators that run the program. While we were being interviewed they took Delaney and tested her to see if she had the "characteristics" to excel in the program. The program itself is pretty unique. Starting next year in kindergarten, a majority of her day ~90% will be in Spanish and the rest in English. Every year the Spanish % comes down and the English portion increases.... by the time she hits 5th grade she will be fluent.
We are super proud of her and she is really excited to learn more Spanish. She is use to the dual immersion concept because while we were in Singapore she went to a school where part of her day was in English and part was in Mandarin. This is definitely a skill set that will help later in life.
