デイリー サルサ スペイン語 1 - リシトス デ オロ イ ロス トレス オソス (FLEX)

**This is a FLEX class with no live meetings.**

In this class for beginning Spanish students, we will learn vocabulary through watching the online childrens show Salsa and doing follow up extension activities.  All episodes for this class are based around the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  I subscribe to the belief that students learn language more quickly and effectively the more often they engage with it.  For this reason, I provide daily activities and videos for the students. 

Class Schedule:
Week 1 - Episode 101: Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Week 2 - Episode 102: Making Soup
Week 3 - Episode 103: The New Chair
Week 4 - Episode 104: Hide and Seek
Week 5 - Episode 105: The Birthday Party
Week 6 - Episode 106: Too Many Cooks

Class Format:
Monday - Students are asked to watch the designated Salsa episode for the week and then draw and share in the classroom a picture about the episode.  All episodes are about 15 minutes long and can be found free and online at (https://www.gpb.org/salsa/term/episode).  While the English transcripts are readily available under each episode, I ask that parents please do not share them with the students.  Learning through immersion is a big reason I am using these particular videos.

Tuesday - I will review that week's focus vocabulary and then walk the students through drawing a nine-grid bingo card.  Students will be able to interact with each other throughout the rest of the week through the bingo game.  Each day I'll post 2-3 new words.  Who will be the first to get three in a row?

Wednesday-Friday - I will post a short (under 5m) video daily with activities to continue learning the vocabulary.  I will guide students through an activity as if it were a live class and allow pauses for them to answer to themselves or to a parent.  Each day's video will be different than the one posted the previous day.

In addition to the daily videos, I also ask that students watch the Salsa episode of the week at least one extra time.  Weekends are a great time to watch!

Please note:  The Salsa videos are entirely in Spanish, but even children with absolutely no previous Spanish knowledge will understand generally what is happening thanks to the visual clues and slower pace.  I will use Spanish in all my videos, but will also translate to English afterwards for clarity.
