Bienvenidos! Welcome!

In this class, students will meet once to learn a variety of new Spanish vocabulary, questions, and sentence frames. Through interactive activities, drawing, and games, they will learn how to identify different pets in Spanish (turtles, rabbits, cats, dogs) and count 0-5.  Please view "Learning Goals" for specifics regarding the vocabulary, sentence frames, and grammar that will be learned in this class, and feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. 

Although this class is for beginners with little to no experience with the Spanish language it will be conducted mainly in Spanish.  The vocabulary will be learned through exaggerated facial expressions, acting, TPR (total physical response), pictures, games, and props to help your child make associations between the new words and their meaning. Of course, the teacher will always clarify in English if students have questions. By limiting the use of English in the classroom your child will have a more natural understanding of the words and will not need to translate from English to Spanish but instead will have an innate understanding of the vocabulary and phrases. 

Teachers will speak slowly and clearly and model sentence frames and vocabulary for students. After modeling the sentence frames the class will practice them in a call and response manner. Our class sizes are small so that every child in attendance has plenty of opportunities to practice the new vocabulary and build their confidence in a small class environment. Please also keep in mind that it is developmentally acceptable for your child to respond in a nonverbal manner (thumbs up or thumbs down), repeat, or sometimes remain silent and listen to the lesson as they become familiar with the new Spanish sounds and words!

Our teachers are so excited to share their love of the Spanish language with your students through fun and interactive activities! 

Nos Vemos Pronto :)
