Thirty-five Hamilton students are teaching Spanish to children in kindergarten, first and second grades at Clinton Elementary School this semester. They began on Oct. 21 after attending two training workshops and will continue teaching until Dec. 2. The Hamilton students work in groups and take turns during the week, teaching a class of 20 children. Teaching Fellow in Hispanic Studies Maria Gabriela Portal is coordinating the project this year; it was started last year by Associate Professor of Hispanic Studies Edna Rodriguez-Plate.
