We'll have fun singing, reading, dancing, and drawing in our twice-weekly Spanish circle time (100% in Spanish, accompanied by a real cottontail rabbit!) -- Geared towards ages 5-8 early intermediate speakers.

Tell a grown-up one thing that you enjoyed about our circle time. If you can, tell a grown-up your favorite Spanish word that we used in class.Class Experience
This class will be 100% Spanish immersion. I want to encourage students to think and speak in Spanish. This is because I believe an immersion environment is best for language learning. *** This class is perfect for students that have a good understanding of Spanish or passively know Spanish -- but please encourage your child to use any Spanish they know in class. For example, if one parent speaks Spanish at home, but the child doesn't speak back in Spanish yet. Or, if your child knows basic Spanish and doesn't mind the immersion environment (i.e. not understanding EVERY word). This class is NOT going to be a good fit if your child doesn't know ANY Spanish yet. I do have another Spanish class available for beginners. *** In each class, we will: - Practice talking about time (clocks, days, months, seasons, etc.) and / or weather - Draw using shapes, lines, and/or letters - Read a story - Sing a children's song or rhyme with movements - As time permits, play a memory, guessing, or other interactive game Most of the songs and rhymes that I've chosen are traditional children's songs, so they're often not overly simplistic. This is not to discourage language learners -- on the contrary, they're an authentic part of Spanish-language learning for children. Before class, encourage your child to repeat and answer questions as MUCH as they can or want. But, young learners often need to build up their confidence before speaking a new language or speaking in online classes, so listening, watching, and absorbing is often the natural first step. I will not "call on" children and expect them to repeat or answer on command. Class environment: Working with young learners, I prefer to NOT mute students because they often have trouble unmuting themselves later. And, in language classes especially, I want to hear the students' pronunciation and questions. However, I will mute if there is lots of background noise or interruptions that take away from the group experience. Remember that you can always review by watching our class recordings!
