In this episode of Learning in Lake Oswego, we spotlight our district's expanding language immersion program, including the exciting addition of Mandarin Chinese to our curriculum. Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Schiele interviews special guests Noah Hurd, principal of Palisades World Language School and district coordinator for K12 Language Immersion, and Christy Appleberry, kindergarten teacher of the inaugural Mandarin Chinese class. Plus a few delightful kindergartners demonstrate their Mandarin skills through song. We explore the rewards and challenges of an immersion school and learn more about the Mandarin Chinese teaching methodology and student experience. All in time for registration and application openings for new students entering our district in the fall!LOSD Kindergarten and New Student RegistrationPalisades World Language SchoolDr. Jennifer Schiele, Superintendent, LOSDMary Kay Larson, Executive Director of Communications, LOSDNoah Hurd, Principal, Palisades World Language School, and Coordinator for K12 Language Immersion, LOSDChristy Appleberry, Teacher, Mandarin Chinese, Palisades World Language School Henry Wei-Li Burt, Nora Lin, and Brooks Scheinfeld, kindergarten singers
