Beginner Level

¡Hola! I’m Señora Kelser!

I am here to help you be successful! 🙌
Learning Environment:
I have taught Spanish to hundreds of students all over the United States in a variety of learning environments:
	* Virtual School 
	* Public/Private School 
	* Or learning just for fun!
What this ongoing class will cover:
I will explain & review any Spanish grammar topic related to the typical curriculum learned in Spanish 1. We will focus on Speaking, Writing, and Reading and Listening Comprehension. 
Topics we will go over:

Week 1 (June 5th) : Greetings, Spanish-Speaking Countries
Week 2 (June 12th): Spanish-Speaking Nationalities & Emotions vocab with the verb Estar
Week 3 (June 19th): Numbers 0-30, alphabet & pronunciation, & colors
Week 4: Calendar vocab (days, months)
Week 5: Calendar vocab with seasons and weather vocab
Week 6: Telling Time
Week 7: Common pastimes & the verb Gustar

If interest to continue this class beyond 7 weeks, here are the plans:

  Some topics that we will discuss later in the summer: 
     - Agree/disagree phrases with the verb Gustar (to like/not like), 
     - Using connecting words to create compound sentences
     - Subject pronouns 
    - Regular -ar, -er, -ir verb conjugation in the Present tense
    - Boot verbs such as “Jugar” in the Present tense
    - Family vocab
    - Noun/adjective agreement 
    - The verb “Ser” with physical adjectives & personality characteristics  

⭐ We will go at a somewhat accelerated pace since this ongoing class is designed to be a REVIEW of Spanish 1 curriculum. 
I will do many checks for understanding throughout the lesson. 

✉️ Please send me a message in advance if you’d like to know what we are covering each week!

Learning Goals

Students will receive small group instruction, reviewing Spanish 1 curriculum. This class is designed for students who have already taken at least 1 semester of Spanish 1, and need a refresher before taking Spanish 2. Students will continue to grow in all 4 areas of communication, Reading and Listening (Interpretive) and Speaking and Writing (Interpersonal).

Other Details

Parental Guidance

I will be using Youtube via screen-share for supplemental videos that may help with Listening comprehension. I may also use Quizlet in screen-share mode to teach students how to navigate all of the vocab review options the site has to offer. I will use Google Slides in screen-share mode for me to present content. I may use Google Docs to have students access digital notes (that could be printed if they choose to) I may use Kahoot, Gimkit, or Quizlet Live to play vocab-based games.

Pre-Requisites

Student should be currently enrolled in a Spanish 1 course, or have taken a Spanish 1 course in the past year. This class will move at an accelerated pace with the expectation that we are reviewing content, not learning for the first time.

Supply List

Paper/notebook, a pencil, and an eraser, laptop or computer preferred over an ipad.
