1 hour per week. No homework will be assigned for this class. I only encourage students and families to welcome and include the Portuguese language by making connections in their daily lives as often as possible while watching, listening to and participating in the world around them.Assessment
Learner progress will be assessed daily during each lesson as the teacher sees and hears that the student has become independent in reciting the information learned during the calendar routine. Students will be able to ask and answer questions in the target language. Students will have individual turns to demonstrate progress and understanding. Parents can also assess their own child's progress as they become more independent during their participation in class as well as how they are using learned information outside of class.Class Experience

▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐Course Overview⭐ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Welcome to our dynamic language learning course! In this class, you will learn important concepts such as the days of the week, months of the year, how to read and write the date, numbers, colors, shapes, counting, number order, letter names and sounds, rhyming and word reading and recognition. You will have daily practice to improve your skills in this new language which includes conversation. During the course, the teacher will be using slides to ensure that students can clearly see the information. The teacher will also be using their hands, facial expressions, voice intonation, and body movements to both engage and help students learn and understand what is being taught. Moreover, we will use chanting, rhyming, singing, and a lot of call and response activities to make learning fun and interactive. You will constantly interact with your classmates and teacher throughout the lesson. 📅 Are you looking for a class that meets 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x per week?
