Description
Class Experience
I received a minor in the Spanish language with my bachelor degree (2011). Later, I went on to complete the seven-week level 5 Spanish course at Roca Blanca Spanish School in Catalotepec, Mexico (2018). I have taught group Spanish classes to a variety of ages ranging from preschool through high school over a period of six years, five years of which have been online. Additionally, I have been raising my children primarily in Spanish since 2016.
In addition to engaging with the weekly videos, each week I ask that learners: 1 - Submit their "puppet conversation" video, using either puppets or stuffies, 2 - Submit complete worksheet(s), 3 - Play the provided games for further practice. I understand that some learners may not do all of these assignments, and that is fine. The more they practice, the more they will remember. However, at this age, it is MOST important that learners have a FUN, positive experience with the language, so they only need to do the work that they enjoy! Optional: Some learners who are already reading may wish to submit recordings of themselves reading the book of the week. I love receiving those as well!
1 file available upon enrollmentI provide weekly class notes, a printable version of the week's story, at least one worksheet (tracing, cut-and-paste or drawing), and game. Having access to a printer is very useful. Learners also need puppets or stuffies for conversations.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
