What a wonderful time of the year to learn Spanish doing your favorite activities! In this course you will read, do seasonal crafts and experiments, sing and cook simple recipes in Spanish. Participate on small craft projects and experiments such as learning how to make an insulated glove, making a gummy bear grow and making a red Cardinal craft. Let's read and listen to magical stories during this class! This is an ongoing class and the activities will be seasonal! This course will go on all Year Round! Content does not build, so you can join anytime. Themes and topics are seasonal and learner-directed on a week to week progress. You will find all the materials on the Learner Supply List. The structure of the class is as follows: 5 Minutes: Warm up 20 Minutes: Activity 5 Minutes: Wrap up Week #1 : Elephant toothpaste Week #2: Art Project: Dots painting Week #3: Pom Pom Launcher Week #4: skittle rainbow-pepper exp Week #5: Dragon eggs Week #6: Steam activity: Lava lamp Week #7: Lemon volcanos Week #8: Craft Week #9: Rock Painting Week #10: Pop up card Week #11: Reading books Week #12: Music time Students don't require any previous experience on the subject to be able to participate or learn in this class. In general you learn a foreign language by being exposed to it. I can tell you that by personal experience. Like everything else, you need to practice to understand and finally learn.

Parental Guidance
While most of the content in this class is very simple for kids to do on their own, children will need assistance from time to time when handling scissors, glue or food that needs to be microwaved or blended. Adults will need to help kids to complete parts of the projects that require the use of a knife. We will NOT use a conventional oven, or a stove in this class.
When doing experiments or cooking, I recommend that you measure quantities for your children and put it in plastic cups. Please also pre-cut the fruit for them.
Some recipes include peanut butter and wheat. I have listed alternatives/substitues in case your child has allergies to any of those ingredients.
For practicing songs at home, I will share a Youtube link that you can use at home everyday with supurvision. However, you can also use other methods such as downloading the song or use a device for listening to the song.
You Tube: I will use a sharable screen for songs.
Google Docs / Acrobat reader / canva : I will attach some documents for you to download and print, such as song lyrics, printables and images that are necessary for crafts. Sometimes I simply share the screen.
Kahoot/ Quizlet: It is not required that you create an account. You will use a code to participate in the activity. I will share the link previous to the class.
Hoopla / Amazon prime: Occasianally, I will use a sharable screen for Story Time.
Giftcuriosity: I will use a sharable screen for experiments.
Duolingo: From time to time we will use this page so students who read can practice their skills.
