Learners will learn basic Spanish grammar combined with specific vocabulary words and phrases that are useful around the barn and in typical equestrian scenarios. Fundamental grammar skills will also be incorporated so that learners will be able to communicate in complete sentences. Students will learn to conjugate commonly used verbs at the barn in the present, past, and future tenses while also learning to give simple instructions using the imperative.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
My classes include interactive activities for students to complete as we proceed through each lesson. I utilize Nearpod, Pear Deck, EdPuzzle. Kahoot and Jamboard activities to further students' comprehension and communication skills. To participate in these interactive activities, students will only need to click on session links that I post for them in the Zoom chat during our live meetings. No personal information will ever be required of students in order to participate in these activities and they will not have to create accounts within any of these external resources in order to participate during class.
Supply List
PDFs of the optional homework assignments will be available to print out following each lesson. They will be uploaded into the Outschool classroom. Parents can easily print them out for their learner prior to or following each class. Vocabulary lists and grammar reference sheets will also be posted in the classroom prior to the start of each class.
