How the teaching of art and language helps knit together diverse SoCal populations |
|
How do you teach culture in Southern California? One way is through language. L’Héritage Français in La Habra, the International School of Orange and The Language Academy at Aronoff Preschool in Irvine, not to mention the Irvine Chinese School and Chinese Cultural Center, are just a few places in our region offering immersive language classes for younger students. Children spend their school days conversing fully in French, Mandarin, Italian and Spanish. Circle time and songs are taught in foreign languages.

|
During the height of the wildfire season, Joe Anderson and Jake Wolf met virtually every Thursday morning with exhausted and bewildered school superintendents whose campuses had either been evacuated or destroyed by the wildfires raging through California. The pair make up the California Department of Education’s Emergency Services Team, but to some school district officials assisted by them, they and their director, Juan Mireles, are affectionately referred to as the 3 J’s.
