The Minneapolis public elementary school program in Spanish is described. It was established in 1974 as a FLES program in kindergarten and first grade, later established as part of a fundamental school alternative, and recently expanded to a partial immersion program. Children ideally follow the program from kindergarten through sixth grade. A variety of subjects are taught entirely in Spanish, and commercial texts are used in almost all subjects and grades. The principal teaching method is Total Physical Response. Little is taught by rote, except for key words and expressions that will help the children move through the school day. Children eagerly learn to read in Spanish as their first language reading skills become established, often in third grade. The mathematics and social studies materials are written for native Spanish-speakers, so instruction relies heavily on manipulatives and discussion. The classroom atmosphere reflects aspects of Spanish language and culture, the school store is conducted in Spanish, and certificates and awards are in Spanish for the program pupils. Publishers and other related resources are listed. (MSE)
