Iowa school's 5th-graders show Spanish fluency after 6 years
Fifth-graders who have been enrolled in an Iowa school's Spanish-language immersion program since they were kindergartners are demonstrating fluency in Spanish as they prepare for sixth grade. Students have been learning all subjects in Spanish, except English.
Students read, write and speak in a different language.
