Little kids are unpredictable, crazy, but also hilarious. 

Mrs. Ellen Rainey’s Spanish classes have experienced all of these.  Each  Wednesday, her students travel to T.G. Smith Elementary School during their third period to teach first and second graders basic Spanish. 

So far, the elementary students have learned greetings, days of the week, numbers, and a few songs that help teach the lessons.

“I really enjoy teaching the kids,” said sophomore Chase Colvin. “They’re fun, spontaneous, and funny.”

One student, sophomore John Kimball, was dog piled by a group of first graders while playing a game.

“I was just holding the stickers, and the next thing I knew I was on the floor with little kids screaming everywhere,” said Kimball.

The program teaches elementary students while they have fun learning from high school students that they look up to.

“I think they enjoy playing the games and taking a break from regular school,” said Colvin, “plus the fact that they are learning a new language.”

The program started at the beginning of the second semester and will last throughout the third quarter.
