Beginner Level
In this flex class (no live meetings), students can complete the courses on their own schedule as many times as they like. Every lesson will include the reading of one children's book in a power point presentation and some vocabulary from the book. At the end of the lesson, there will be a song that will also have some vocabulary related to the song. All interaction will take place using the classroom. The teacher will be available to answer any questions through the Outschool classroom within 24 to 48 hours. The presentation with the books and song will be available every Monday through Nearpod. Projects and activities will be also posted every Monday to the Outschool classroom to allow for questions and interaction during the week. The children, with help from their parents, will submit a small audio file after every class. The audio file can be uploaded into the classroom and the teacher will provide feedback within a couple of days. This class is a great way to expose your children to another language in a fun and engaging way. This class will provide the opportunity to become familiar with some Spanish vocabulary such as colors, animals, numbers, and much more! Every lesson will take between 15 and 30 minutes and you can play it for you children as many times as you wish.
Learning Goals
The students will get exposed to another language in a fun and engaging way. Books and songs help children to remember patterns and facilitate learning.

I am originally from Spain and I have two children that I am raising bilingual (soon tri-lingual). I strongly believe, as a neuroscientist, that exposure to another language before age 5 or 6 can make a huge difference in their brain development by increasing their ability to learn other languages in the future and become fluent.
