In this 2-day beginner Spanish language course, students will learn and practice the 7 days of the week in Spanish through fun activities and songs! Students will learn a song to help them remember how to say the 7 days of the week, complete a tracing activity to practice writing the days of the week, and complete a worksheet to practice putting the days in order. During the final meeting, the teacher will show students a fun flashcard game that they can play after class to keep practicing as well as send the lesson presentation to families so that they can review the material even after class is over!

-Un día- the day
-Lunes-Monday

This class is for beginner Spanish students with either no or little previous exposure to the Spanish language. The vocabulary in this course will be learned through songs, pictures, and games to help your child make associations between the new words and their meaning. We believe learning something new is best accomplished while having fun so our teachers love to incorporate fun activities during the lesson and enjoy being silly with students! During class, our teachers try to limit their use of the English language. Of course, teachers will clarify in English if needed. By limiting the use of English in the classroom your child will have a more natural understanding of the words and will not need to translate from English to Spanish but instead will have an innate understanding of the vocabulary and phrases. 

Teachers will speak slowly and clearly and model sentence frames and vocabulary for the student. After modeling the sentence frames the students and teacher will practice them in a call-and-response manner. Class sizes are small so that every child in attendance has plenty of opportunities to practice the new vocabulary and build their confidence in a small class environment. In addition to speaking/verbal activities, teachers may utilize Nearpod (https://nearpod.com/)  in presentations so that students can demonstrate their understanding in a nonverbal manner by drawing on the presentation slides. 

This course is designed to give students repeat exposure to the target vocabulary and sentence frames so they have plenty of opportunities to practice and master the lesson objectives. It is not expected that they will retain everything after only one lesson, learning any new language takes time and practice and with repeat exposure, we know they will see success! Please also keep in mind that it is developmentally acceptable for your child to respond in a nonverbal manner (thumbs up or thumbs down), repeat, or sometimes remain silent and listen to the lesson as they become familiar with the new Spanish sounds and words!

Our teachers are so excited to share their love of the Spanish language with your students through fun and interactive activities! 

Nos Vemos Pronto :)
