​

​

 

Class teacher:  Jennifer Jaworowski

 

Ages:  6-9 & 9-12

Classes will cover the same units but with different depth, practice and games / activities.

 

Homework:   Provided

 

Prerequisites:   You do not need any prior Spanish skills to take this class, but students will need to be able to recognize letters, read simple words and write.

 

Type of Class:   This class is designed to enhance your HomeSchooling.  Students will need to practice their new language skills at home to truly learn this new language!  Homework and links to additional learning will be made available.

 

Class Description:

The emphasis on the beginning term of this class is to learn the basics!  Alphabet sounds, numbers, seasons, colors, greetings and many many nouns!  Students will use their new vocabulary to form sentences and engage in simple conversations.  We will also learn about Latino/Hispanic culture, art and music!  Our learning is designed to be a fun experience designed in themes and including games, projects, writing and play-acting so that we are always practicing our new language skills!

 

Our activities will include:

  • Conversations!  Show off your previously learned skills and practice new ones!

  • In class experiences!  We’ll be tasting new foods, practicing new dance moves, learning songs and more to help us remember our new sounds and words and so much more!

  • Projects / Independent Research!  Study something new at home and bring it to class to share!

  • Out of classroom experiences!  You’ll have optional homework and links to lots of learning experiences that you get to share with your family and friends at home, and then bring back to class!

  • Performance!  At the end of each session we’ll be able to show off what we’ve learned to family and friends!

Winter:  We’ll continue practicing what we learned in the fall and adding new vocabulary and grammar to our language skills!  We might get through all of these units, but we might spend more time on each unit to solidify and enjoy our learning!  If we don’t finish these, we’ll continue on in the Spring!
