Welcome to my Spanish Summer Camp for children ages 6-10. My program is designed to introduce your child to the Spanish language in a fun and engaging way.
In this class, I will use a variety of interactive activities, games, and crafts to teach your child basic Spanish vocabulary and grammar. I believe that children learn best when they are actively engaged and having fun, so I have designed my curriculum to be both educational and enjoyable.
I believe that learning a new language is a valuable and enriching experience for children, and I am committed to making the process as enjoyable and effective as possible. We welcome children of all language backgrounds and abilities, and we look forward to helping your child develop their Spanish language skills and cultural awareness.

Crafts and languages are excellent activities for children for many reasons:
1. Boosts cognitive development: Learning a new language and participating in crafts can help improve a child's cognitive development, including their problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity skills.
2. Boosts confidence and self-esteem: Learning a new language and creating something through crafts can be challenging, but when children succeed, it can boost their confidence and self-esteem. This can lead to a greater willingness to take on new challenges and a more positive outlook on life.
3. Provides a fun and engaging way to learn: Learning a new language and participating in crafts can be enjoyable and engaging for children. It provides a hands-on, interactive way to learn, which can help children stay interested and motivated.
Overall, crafts and languages are great activities for children that provide numerous benefits, including cognitive development, communication skills, cultural awareness, confidence and self-esteem, and a fun and engaging way to learn.

CLASS RECORDING POLICY: I do not share recordings of my group classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners (many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to videos that include their child). However, you are welcome to watch and participate with your child, OFF SCREEN, to comply with Outschool Policy, so that you can have access to the content.
