In this 25-minute, once weekly ongoing Spanish Circle Time for Young Learners class, students will learn new vocabulary and sentence structures each week along with practicing basic conversational skills through the use of songs, chants, movements, and puppets. We will focus on a new topic each class/week. This class is for young beginners, so no experience with Spanish is necessary. #academic

This is a highly interactive class where participation through speaking, singing, and body movement is encouraged. At the beginning of each class, we will practice some basic conversational skills, including greeting each other, introducing ourselves, and asking how everyone is. Then I will teach the necessary vocabulary words through repetition and visuals, then we will learn a fun song, chant, or story to support the learning objective(s). I will be using my puppets to model conversations, and if students have their own puppet or stuffed animal, they are encouraged to bring one to class with them. The puppet/animal can also help to calm any nervousness that students may be feeling when speaking a new language. I am excited to see your student in my class! We are going to have so much fun learning Spanish together!
