This class is taught in Spanish.

Students will learn and recall vocabulary for foods, the home, items around the house, animals, toys, and the natural world.
Students will speak in Spanish during each class and learn to navigate conversations (questioning techniques and simples questions + examples of ways to respond.)
Students will apply understanding of vocabulary to answer simple questions in class and ask them to fellow students.
Students will learn to speak another language in a more holistic and natural process.
Students will have fun and be challenged beyond what they think they can do.

Homework Offered
Homework is optional and students will probably want to practice their Spanish words.
Students can read over the Abc pages Profesora D uploads into the Abcs in Spanish 1 Classroom provided by Outschool.
OR watching the videos of the classes, students can (1) purchase the ebook from iTunes: ABC's 140 Sight Words and Pictures for Beginning Readers By Diana Di Tolla ($1.99) to practice the vocabulary (reading and speaking) and (2) practice speaking/saying the words we learned.  Study time:  about 10-15 minutes each time a student reads the book.  
The goal is that the student can read the books without listening to the Spanish - but the Spanish is there as a back-up. 
There are also include more ebooks on iTunes (99 cents each):  The Letter A, The Letter B, The Letter C, The Letter D by Diana Di Tolla.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Learner progress is also formative (immediate feedback through speaking examples or teacher repeating or emphasizing a students' answer.)  Profesora D will have visual aids of vocabulary for each lesson.
