'ĦUna erupcin!': Dual language programs expanding to 10 local schools
EVERETT — Last week, Sofia Sierra, a second-grader at Emerson Elementary in south Everett, read a book about volcanoes aloud.
“Cenizas y vapores emergen de la montaña. La roca fundida y caliente sube por el interior de la montaña,” she read. “De repente, escapa una columna brillante de ceniza caliente. ¡Es una erupción!”

Later in the day, Sofia and her entire class switch to her second language — English.

They are part of a growing number of kids enrolled in dual language programs. Next school year, in Snohomish County, 10 schools will offer dual language instruction.
