Spanish/English Bilingual Calendar Routine 2 (Gr Prek)

Students will learn and establish a daily routine for talking about the calendar in Spanish and English. This will include basic math and literacy concepts in both languages. 

Mrs. Llaneza is a native Spanish speaker and has ample experience teaching Spanish to young students.

Dr. Vania Scarborough is an experienced, bilingual, compassionate, and creative Spanish teacher with over one decade of teaching experience including higher education instruction, tutoring in Spanish, and virtual language instruction. Dr. Scarborough is a native Spanish speaker with a Postgraduate Degree from the International University of Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, and a DDS from a prestigious university in South America. This, coupled to her ample linguistic experience as a professional Spanish translator, interpreter, and proofreader are the reasons behind Dr. Scarborough’s superb reading, writing and linguistic skills in Spanish. In fact, it is her deep love and knowledge of Spanish grammar, and a genuine vocation of service, which thoroughly inform all her teaching and allow her to provide all her Spanish students with a highly professional and effective Spanish language immersion learning experience.  

No homework will be assigned for this class. I only encourage students and families to welcome and include the Spanish language by making connections in their daily lives as often as possible while watching, listening to and participating in the world around them.  

Learner progress will be assessed daily during each lesson as the teacher sees and hears that the student has become independent in reciting the information learned during the calendar routine. Students will be able to ask and answer questions in both languages. Students will have individual turns to demonstrate progress and understanding. Parents can also assess their own child's progress as they become more independent during their participation in class as well as how they are using learned information outside of class.  

2 hours 5 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
