The cognitive benefits of learning another language are undeniable.  Research shows that learning another language can be extremely beneficial for young learners.  Children exposed to a second language have improved memory, enhanced concentration, and better listening skills.  They are also better equipped to multitask and problem solve.  This is one reason I am so passionate about teaching Spanish to young learners.  

Christmas Fun in Spanish! is a one-time class that includes learning common Christmas words and phrases in Spanish through an interactive presentation, repetition, visual props, and conversation as well as a song and fun game!  Additionally, students will learn how to ask and answer questions using complete sentences.  

I strive to accommodate all learners through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities as well as adequate repetition.  This is a conversational class with an emphasis on student talk time.  Students will be encouraged, but not required, to speak about 50% of the time in order to practice pronunciation and promote retention.  If your child wishes not to speak in class, please let me know beforehand so that I can make those accommodations.   This is a beginner level course for students with little or no experience speaking Spanish, and I aim to facilitate a comfortable learning environment.  I look forward to seeing you in the classroom!
