Every day, Corrina Carlos comes into her classroom and bids good morning to her pollitos. They chirp back not in English but in Spanish. And K’Iche’. And Q’eqchi’. For the most part, the pollitos — or “little chickens,” as Carlos affectionately calls her students — understand Carlos as she switches between English and Spanish, but the students and teacher muddle through any parts of the conversation they might not understand. It’s the least Carlos can do to give her pollitos a basic education and a fighting chance at survival in a society and world new to them.
