For those of you who don't know, I am currently working as a substitute bilingual interventionist in a K-4 dual language program at a local elementary school. Now, you're probably wondering "what is a bilingual interventionist and what do they do?"

So, since I seem to be much better at posting updates on Facebook, I have decided to share some of my posts from Facebook on my blog as well. I will also (eventually) add more posts and content to my blog that are not posted on Facebook, but, for now, I'm going to start with sharing posts so that my blog gets updated more often.  *I will also try to post most things in English and Spanish to help challenge myself in my language abilities  I hope you enjoy reading! _____________________________________________________________ English Today I ran across this beautiful bilingual worship song from the Urbana missions conference back in December 2015 and I thought I would share it with all of you!
