¡Hola!

Come sing, move, play games, and write in Spanish!  We will take what we learned in previous classes and extend our conversations.  To be successful in this class, I recommend completing Elementary Spanish Parts 1-7 or, have taken 2-3 years of Spanish instruction at school.  In this class, students will learn to name different types of homes, discuss food in a market, identify clothing and ask about prices, discuss and describe city places, and finally, tell time by the hour and sequence events.  This class will not have a final project but instead have an optional short writing piece or verb conjugation practice sheet each week to practice concepts learned in class. 

Students will learn the following animals throughout the course as part of activities and conversation: Racoon, Fox, Deer, Wolf, Rabbit, Owl, Mouse, Bear, Squirrel, Skunk, Hedgehog
