3 in-class hoursClass Experience
Students will be guided through reading The Mouse and the Motorcycle in Spanish. The class will meet 6 times and students will be expected to read between classes (approximately 25 pages/week or 4 pages/day). Students will engage in Spanish weekly and will use new vocabulary while discussing the characters and content of the story. Week 1 - Introduction, character descriptions, chapter 1 together Week 2 - Using graphic organizers to improve comprehension Week 3 - Review questions, vocabulary, summarizing Week 4 - Making predictions, strategies for understanding vocabulary in context Week 5 - Who/What/Why questions while reading Week 6 - Wrap up, favorite part/favorite character presentations Class time will be spent by reviewing what was read and if time allows we'll spend the last few minutes of class reading together! There is an audiobook version available on youtube if students prefer to read along with the audio text. Reading reinforces vocabulary and grammar and is a great way to progress and keep skills sharp through the summer!

Students will be introduced to new vocabulary, grammar/sentence structure and will practice written comprehension in Spanish while engaging in discussion in the target language each week.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from College of Notre Dame of Maryland
I’m Nicole and I taught in the local public school system for several years! I was certified to teach Spanish, English, and Special Education K-12 and taught Spanish levels 1 through AP and English classes in general and self-contained classrooms. I left the public school system to homeschool my three children - ages 7, 10 and 12 - and together we learn and explore! I've traveled to Honduras and to Spain and I love teaching Spanish, language/grammar and culture! I also have extensive experience with special needs and work part time as a family consultant to families with children with Autism in Maryland.
I believe that understanding the mechanics of language is absolutely essential in good writing and in second-language acquisition. I especially enjoy teaching early reading/phonics/phonemic awareness, English grammar and Spanish grammar! I teach Spanish immersion classes where we are constantly laughing and learning and social skills groups where students develop relationships with peers around the world!
I'm happy to schedule one:one classes/tutoring by request. Please message me with questions!Reviews
