¡Bienvenidos! In this full Spanish 2 Curriculum Course, we'll continue developing our Spanish for the second academic school year. Parents, please scroll to the bottom of this section to see what your kids should already know in Spanish before entering this Spanish 2 course.

What you expect from this class? Here is a breakdown of how each week will be structured. Further down, you can see specifics on the topic and content of each lesson.

Each week, we'll work with the Spanish language in various ways, so you get a well-rounded understanding of the language. The structure for each week will look something like this (with some wiggle room for swapping days):
Class #1: Vocabulary Introduction. In the first class of each week, I'll present students with new vocabulary and sentence or grammar structures that we'll be using that week. 

Class#2: Reading Practice. In this session, students will work on their reading comprehension in Spanish, sticking to the theme of that particular week. We may use appropriate newspaper or magazine articles, Spanish readers for their level, or brief stories. Students will also ask and respond to reading comprehension questions in full sentences in Spanish.

Class #3: Listening and Speaking Practice. For this class, students will work together to ask and answer questions regarding the target vocabulary for the week in Spanish. *Please note that this will require students to actively participate and speak in class.*

Class #4: Games and Review. In our final class for each week, we'll play specially designed review games that help students recycle the vocabulary that they've studied and worked with throughout the week with me.

Sometimes, there will be a QUIZ to help students further review.
