Spanish for Preteens and Teens, Learn the Basics : Part 2.

Students will learn basic vocabulary in the Spanish Language, they will begin to get familiar with the pronunciation and get confidence in speaking a new language.

Hello, I am Diana Vivas, I was born in Colombia and I have been helping families for more than 15 years organizing routines that included creative movement, math, reading, and listening comprehension.
During my College years, I worked for a language company in Colombia (CIL), and I was trained by the owner in a conversational teaching method to teach ESL and Spanish to foreigners. It was a great opportunity to learn hands on how to teach others to communicate in other languages, how to teach children both in English and Spanish and how to be a bridge of knowledge in every subject that I was qualified in. It was such a wonderful experience that I kept working for them for more than 10 years, giving me vast training in handling English and Spanish classes. I now use that experience and the fact that I am a native Spanish speaker to share what I know with children and to help them cope with anxiety and stress through mindfulness.
When I looked for a Mindful & movement program to incorporate into my activities, I noticed there weren’t many for younger children, so I decided to get certified in Yoga for children and Zumbini and teach it myself. I work with children using hands-on exploration through social interaction and play, encouraging them with music and using nature to help children learn about their environment. I began to combine structured classes, as well as non conventional classes, and now I can reach all different kind of students, because every child has their own way of understanding information, and I am just a facilitator of that knowledge.
Even though my mayor is in International Business, I have a Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business degree, my passion is working with children and learning along the with them.

There will be activities to be completed during class to get the students used to writing in Spanish, there will be PDFs with vocabulary and audio with the pronunciation for the students to practice after class.

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

**During the last 5 to 10 minutes of class, students will review the vocabulary using interactive games from a website called
"Blooket". Students Do Not need to create a Blooket account. Students need Parental Permission to access Blooket.com/play and use a Game ID that I will provide, or to use the link that I will provide in the chat. Only the students that are present in class that day will be allowed to play. 
***All material will be presented via Canva and screen shared by the teacher. The PDFs will also be screen shared by the teacher so they can be completed as an oral and written exercise.
