Research shows that learning a second language boosts critical thinking, problem-solving, and even listening skills. It also improves memory recall, concentration, and the ability to multitask. Bilingual children also tend to be more creative and have increased mental flexibility! Young children's minds are like sponges, so learning a language at a young age is much easier. Let's take advantage of their curiosity and have fun while learning! Each week we will cover: -Introductions & how are you? -Key vocabulary -A new song -Story in English & Spanish -Comprehension check -Game/Activity to master content WEEK ONE: Book: "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? / Oso Pardo, Oso Pardo, ¿Que ves ahí?" -Bill Martin Jr / Eric Carle Lesson: Colors, Animals & Sights WEEK TWO: Book: "From Head to Toe / De la cabezas a los pies" - Eric Carle Lesson: Verbs, Body Parts, Animals & Movements WEEK THREE: Book: "The Very Hungry Caterpillar / La Oruga Muy Hambrienta" - Eric Carle Lesson: Foods, Days of the week, & Life cycle of a caterpillar/butterfly WEEK FOUR: Book: "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? / Oso polar, oso polar, ¿qué es ese ruido?" -Bill Martin Jr / Eric Carle Lesson: Verbs, Animals, & Sounds Optional homework will be given weekly to give your child a chance to continue their practice & learning at home! ¡Nos vemos en la clase amigos!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome to my profile!
I'm Lindy Avila and I have been teaching Spanish on Outschool for 3 years now and teaching online for 8 years.
A little about me:
I am passionate about helping students to gain a love of new cultures & skills through learning languages and art. I believe that learning about new languages and cultures helps us to be more empathetic, generous, and compassionate human beings.
I received my B.A. in English with a specialization in Teaching ESL from the University of Memphis. I received my TEFL certification while teaching at the University of West Bohemia in the Czech Republic. I also minored in Spanish and studied in Costa Rica. Later I lived in Bogota, Colombia for 4 years teaching Pre-k, English, and Hand Lettering. My Spanish has been heavily influenced by my time in Colombia and my family there!
I have traveled the globe and taught students from every continent! I am passionate about creating a positive learning environment, where every student feels accepted and their opinion is valued. My classroom is inclusive and engages students through curiosity and play! In each class, we have a sharing time so each student may participate as much as they are comfortable.
I believe that children are naturally curious and love to learn. Students will be encouraged to try and fail in my classes, make mistakes, and keep trying! I emphasize progress over perfection. I love to travel with my husband and daughter in my free time, practice yoga, and spend time in nature.
I look forward to teaching your child soon!
❤️ -Profe Lindy
