Description:
Using interactive and conversation-driven learning, this course lays the foundation for learning to speak Spanish fluently. Students in kindergarten through 3rd grade enjoy a multi-sensory approach to learning as they sing, make art, and converse. In order to gain mastery and grow toward fluency, students are expected to complete some work outside of class each week such as playing Spanish games, listening to Spanish songs and passages, and completing some light coursework. As an integral part of the learning process, students are asked to record themselves speaking and to submit their recording to the teacher each week.
