¡ - 早期初學者 - 2 X 週

This is an ongoing Spanish Club that meets twice a week for learners 4-6. 

Spanish will be spoken throughout with very little assistance in English. (90 percent Spanish)

Once we put on our imaginary “sombreros” we switch our brains to learning Spanish mode.  

Parents and educators know that children learn language by using language to make sense of their world. Rather than relying on drills and memorization to learn Spanish, learners will participate in meaningful projects, creating puppets, following recipes, creating with play dough (plasticine), playing bingo, making pictures of their family and homes, and entering into story worlds! 

Welcome to ¡Club Hola! - Doble Tiempo

The activities for these lessons are well-designed that integrate all 4 areas (Speaking, listening, reading, and writing). Because lessons circle back to some characters (Pepe), learners receive multiple opportunities to develop their Spanish. 

As an educator I use different delivery methods. I incorporate vibrant slides with gifs, realia, games, puppets, crafts, and songs. 

Virtual Classroom…

Every two weeks new links will be posted on the virtual classroom related to the monthly theme. 
You will also find the welcome and good-bye songs for practice :)

Each week you will receive a printable learning mat with short activities you can do with your learner to reinforce Spanish at home.

LANGUAGE USE: 
This class is designed to engage learners in Spanish. Spanish will be spoken 90% of the time. I will introduce all learners in Spanish and explain the class rules. We will then put on our “sombreros” . We must now try to speak in Spanish. 

MUTING POLICY: 
Participation is always encouraged. My preference is to have learners unmuted, however there may be instances where learners need to be muted due to the background noise or in order to hear other learners share. 

CLASS EXPECTATIONS: 
Learners will be asked to raise their hands to ask a question or before sharing. I may also call on each learner and may do so in order that I see them on my screen.  

CLASS CANCELLATIONS:
If a class has not met the minimum number of enrollments, it may be canceled. A message will be sent 24 hours before the class to advise.
