學前動物數學 100% 西班牙語 - Perros, Ratones, Ovejas y Patos - FLEX

Could your busy young Spanish-speaker benefit from practice with numbers? In this class designed for young children who understand Spanish*, we will have fun with math through games, stories, and songs focused around fun animal themes. This course is designed for kids who have not yet mastered either counting, number recognition, or adding up to ten. Our number stories and worksheets incorporate simple written equations, working with these small numbers in a concrete and practical way. 

This is the flexible-schedule version of the course with no live class meetings. Learners will WATCH the weekly lessons fully in Spanish at their convenience, RESPOND singing that weeks' number song in a video if they feel comfortable, demonstrating their counting practice, and/or sharing their completed worksheet(s), and ENGAGE with the teacher and other learners through our weekly extension challenge. I respond to weekly learner-submitted videos with my personalized video feedback.

In each weekly video we: (1) begin with a numbers or song poem, (2) engage in a number story, (3) play a number game, and (4) sing a closing numbers song all fully in Spanish. (See Sources for more information.)

*These students may be--for example--heritage speakers, children who have attended an immersion preschool, or "life-time speakers" with a parent or caregiver who has spoken to them in Spanish since infancy.
