Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8
Beginner Level
I am an interactive teacher with the goal of making learning both fun and educational.  My classes include interactive discussion, games, songs and role play. Each class will begin with a warm up/greeting. We will then discuss the previous lesson/homework if applicable. Once new information is introduced via class lecture, google slides and at times video clips, we will practice the content using fun, interactive games and conversation. This will allow the learner both guided practice as well as independent thinking before the end of class. Students will be encouraged to complete assignments before the start of each new class. 
The following concepts will be presented:
wk1 and ongoing Identify, pronounce and utilize words and phrases from the following vocabulary topics:
 wk1 Greetings and how to use them in conversational Spanish  
 wk1 Numbers 0-30 and telling time
 wk1 Colors, singular and plural
 wk2 Days/months/dates 
 wk3 Classroom objects and courses in Spanish
 wk4 Describe the similarities and differences between School in the learners home country
