Let's get ready to go to a party where everyone speaks Spanish! In this course we're going to learn Spanish and on the last day of class, pretend to attend a Mexican fiesta. Students will learn by hearing, seeing, and repeating Spanish words as well as phrases. If you were in Spanish - Part One, we'll be singing some of those songs we learned (and if you weren't in Part One, it's okay, this is still beginning Spanish). Week 1/2: Learn vocabulary, ways to introduce yourself and say goodbye, and Las Mañanitas (Happy Birthday). Week 3/4: Learn about the foods of Mexico, numbers, and colors. Week 3: Learn how to make a piñata and sing the piñata song. Week 5/6: Review vocabulary, conversation starters and songs that were learned during the previous classes. Week 7: Review/Get ready for the fiesta! Special activities include piñata making, learning party songs, and drinking authentic Mexican hot chocolate. Citlali, my sweet Spanish speaking doll (pictured) will often assist during class. General class structure: 5 minute introduction, 10 minute vocabulary, 10 minute conversation, discussion/presentation, 5 questions and answer session, 5 minutes reflection/closure.
