Italian Returns to G & P


Ciao! In a couple of months, we will be returning to Graham and Parks Elementary School for the third consecutive year to teach Italian to the Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes. We want to take this opportunity to give you a brief overview of what we are trying to accomplish, and more importantly, who we are. The Italian Department at Harvard University has created a program in which we are given the chance to help teach Italian language and culture in Cambridge Public Schools. In the near future, we will be coming into the classroom once a week not only to expose the children to a new language, but also to give them a taste of Italian culture. We hope to implement Italian in the classroom through a variety of mediums, including books, music, art, and, of course, food! Our class is composed of seven undergraduate students, all of whom have completed extensive coursework in Italian. More importantly, we are all very enthusiastic and excited for the upcoming year at G & P!
