FLES (Foreign Language in the Elementary School) The FLES
Program teaches Spanish to all fourth and fifth grade students
in Loudoun County Public Schools. Students receive one 30-minute
lesson each week. Mrs.Vieyra will continue to be our wonderful
FLES teacher this year. Spanish is taught through thematic
units, and the emphasis is on listening, speaking, and reading
skills. Basic writing is also introduced. The FLES curriculum
reflects the National and State Foreign Language Standards, and
correlates in specific areas to the curriculum and SOLs for
grades 4-5. The FLES program provides students with a fantastic
opportunity to learn about the culture, as well as the language,
of Spanish speaking countries. Early language instruction also
benefits cognitive, social, and academic skills. It is amazing
how much our students know and understand after they finish the
elementary school FLES program! Click here to view Loudoun
