***Please note: The Tuesday/Thursday section at 2:30pm eastern time is more advanced. Please message me so we can see if it will be a good fit for your learner. Get ready to read, write and speak in Spanish! In this 12 week semester class we will learn Spanish in context through stories. This class is for beginners but it will be important for learners to already be reading and writing in English in order to get the most out of this class. Class will meet live two days a week but students are expected to engage in short activities posted to the classroom on three additional days. That's a total of 5 days practicing Spanish! This will allow them to reinforce the vocabulary, concepts and skills covered during our lessons. Weeks are themed and the speaking, writing and reading for the week will revolve around key words or phrases. Each week, we will focus on a set of new vocabulary words which we will see in context within our story. Students will need a binder, loose leaf paper and weekly printouts for this class. Class time will consist of... Tuesdays: -vocabulary (spelling, pronunciation and examples) -reading a digital story -discussions -review -hands-on activity Thursdays: -reading digital story -verbs -sentences -questions/immersion Week #1: Theme- Familia (Family) Week #2: Theme- Ropa (Clothes) Week#3: Theme- Buscando (Looking For) Week#4: Theme- Hubicación (Placement) Week#5: Theme- Mascotas (Pets) Week #6: Theme - La Casa (The House) Week#7: Theme - Zoológico (Zoo) Week #8: Theme- Noche (Night) Week #9: Story- Juguetes (Toys) Week #10: Theme - ¿Dónde Está? (Where is it?) Week #11: Theme- Viajes (Trips) Week #12: Theme- Jugar (To Play) Maestra Zia is a happy teacher who loves to provide positive reinforcement and encourage student participation while instructing and modeling materials in a clear and fun way. Students will be encouraged to interact using their newly acquired Spanish vocabulary and because this is an multiday class, they will have the opportunity to create rapport with the teacher and eachother. No required experience. This is a basic/beginners class that introduces the Spanish language in a fun stress free way. "Let's enrich each other's lives! Join me in a class." ~Maestra Zia
