In this engaging interactive class, students will participate in songs, TPR exercises and simple games such as "Simon Says," matching activities, color-by-numbers, "I Spy," and more to learn a wide variety of basic Spanish vocabulary sets. Class will be conducted largely in Spanish with English used only for clarification. Language will be made comprehensible through gestures and visuals as I use props and ask students to point to vocabulary items on their coloring sheets as I say them or act out relevant verbs. Students will demonstrate comprehension through yes/no questions, either/or questions, pointing to vocabulary items and coloring their worksheets at the end of class. We will use their coloring pages to both show what they have learned and reinforce new vocabulary items. This class is perfect for absolute beginners or students who want a bit of a refresher. New and recycled vocabulary will be made comprehensible with visuals and gestures each week, so new students can feel free to jump in at any time.

Each month, we will explore a different theme to keep learners engaged. Themes will be updated monthly in this description. Suggestions are always welcome!
