The Spanish DLI Team
A Special Thanks to Model Teachers
On behalf of the State DLI team, we want to thank the model teachers who helped during the last round of classroom visits for state DLI teachers in November. These teachers implement exemplary DLI strategies daily in their classrooms and help strengthen the program by welcoming to their classrooms teachers and administrators from other school districts to learn from their expertise.

Spanish DLI Schools celebrate “Día de Muertos”
During October and early November, many Spanish DLI schools across the state celebrated the “Día de Muertos” by displaying altars with offerings, photos and decorations to remember and honor the loved ones who are not among us anymore.
Every year, we see more and more schools setting up similar displays to bring Mexican culture into our classrooms. We want to thank all the schools and teachers who invested time and effort to bring closer to our DLI students such an important celebration in Mexican culture.
