🌟Teaching Approach
1) Our number one priority is making your student feel welcome and included. We understand that when students feel comfortable they are more open to learning new things.

2) Vocabulary in this course is learned through exaggerated facial expressions, TPR (total physical response), pictures, games, and props to help your child make associations between new words and their meaning. 

3) Teachers speak slowly and clearly and model sentence frames and vocabulary for students. After modeling the sentence frames the students and teacher will practice them in a call and response manner. 

4) Class activities include a mix of speaking, listening and writing/drawing activities. Teachers may utilize Nearpod (https://nearpod.com/) in class presentations so that students can demonstrate their understanding in a nonverbal manner by drawing on presentation slides. 

6) 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.


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

Nos Vemos Pronto :)
