During my time at IPS Newcomer, I helped two kids (Jose and Danury) with their essay outlines in Language Arts class with Mr. Swem. Jose and Danury were both writing about technology, how it has been incorporated in American lives and why they believe it is either a good or a bad thing. I was able to communicate mostly through hand gestures and google translate as both students knew Spanish and I have very little exposure to Spanish. After this experience, I became more inclined to learn some Spanish in order to better communicate with the students as this is the native language of most students in this particular class.
