📖🔎Welcome to Early Elementary Beginner's Spanish 📖🔎

This Spanish Class is the perfect spot for students who are still new to Spanish but have had some previous exposure as we practice reading and writing throughout the class as we build real life connections to the material. This class truly provides an amazing class experience as well as so much for you to utilize at home with your littles to keep the learning going! 

➕In this class we use a monthly theme song and practice actions and vocabulary in the song to deepen our mastery of the topic.

➕In this class we introduce four or five new words in Spanish connected to the theme and provide multiple different strategies to practice the new words in each session. 

➕In this class we provide many opportunities for students to use Spanish independently and build on their Spanish reading and speaking skills. 

➕Parents will receive a worksheet with activities to practice the vocabulary, a link to the song of the month, the Kahoot! Link to practice our review game from home, as well as a PDF of our beginner Spanish reader for that week to practice those reading skills at home!

OUR TEACHING STYLE

📚 Early Language Exposure – We take advantage of the critical window for second language acquisition before age six (or as early as possible!), maximizing children’s natural ability to learn Spanish effortlessly.

🎯 Proven Teaching Strategies – Our approach includes research-backed methods such as Total Physical Response (TPR), Modeling, Scaffolding, Comprehensible Input, Reducing Incidental Language, and the use of Props to enhance learning.

🗣️ Supportive & Student-Centered Learning – We respect each child’s individual learning pace, allowing them to begin speaking when they’re ready while gently encouraging participation with multiple opportunities to engage in every class.

📝 Building Functional Language Use – Rather than just introducing vocabulary, we prioritize real communication by encouraging sentence formation and modeling common sentence frames, helping students gain independence in speaking.

🌍 Engaging & Inclusive Environment – We create a welcoming, energetic, and supportive space where every child feels comfortable. By incorporating movement and adapting to different learning styles, we ensure all students stay engaged and thrive in their Spanish-learning journey. 🎶✨

😃 Have interactive activities
