Hola y Bienvenidos!

In this ongoing class, young students will meet once a week for 30minutes to learn Spanish that can be applied to their everyday lives. This class is designed for students with little to no experience with the Spanish language. Our first meeting of each month will be an introduction to new vocabulary/grammar while the remaining weeks of the month will be an opportunity to put the new language to use and apply what they have learned through games, stories, and activities. Each lesson will begin with greetings, and introductions, and then dive into the monthly theme.

Monthly themes may be adjusted slightly to fit the interests and level of the class. These will always be communicated to families and students so they are aware of any changes. 

The vocabulary in this course will be learned through exaggerated facial expressions, TPR (total physical response), pictures, games, and props to help your child make associations between the new words and their meaning. During class, our teachers try to limit their use of the English language. Of course, teachers will clarify in English if needed and use some English to explain grammar concepts when necessary. 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. 

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 :)
