😀 🤩🥳 Come join me in this 10-week course as we discover how fun learning can be! This course will run for 30-minute periods each lesson, 4x per week. It is the perfect opportunity to share meaningful learning experiences with your learner, in order for them to continue speaking Spanish and working on their fluency and vocabulary expansion. 🎵🎤🧩🔤📚Children thrive on routine because it provides a sense of comfort and safety that allows them to be more open to learning. This class will bring your learner a safe learning environment and a routine that will include songs, interactive games, word of the week, number of the week, shape of the week and theme of the week! The class will be taught exclusively in Spanish through music, dance, books and videos. Students will be encouraged to participate in reading, dancing, singing, and writing; instilling confidence in them as they practise their Spanish speaking skills. Students will improve their Spanish vocabulary, pronunciation, speaking and listening skills, and foster a sense of community. 🥳 I am so excited to have your child be a part of my class! ⭐️⭐️Please keep in mind that this class is not for beginner or intermediate-level students, but for students who already speak Spanish at home, and want a chance to solidify their language skills by practising.⭐️ 👀 👀IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ! 🧐🧐 Please take a few minutes to watch the following video on how your learner can draw on the screen while we are in class.

I have taught this complete course for 6 ongoing years in person, to students in jk-grade 3. I am a certified teacher and in my years of experience I have found that concept repetition (a technique known as recycling), is critical to building lasting memory of the vocabulary and its proper usage. Just as important, is a comfortable, safe, and engaging environment for student's optimal learning. Through games, songs and even dancing, my classroom provides this type of learning environment for my students.
