Spanish K – 4th grades

Course Description: The children will be immersed in Spanish through online games and songs typical of Hispanic countries, art projects to do at home, books, and videos, as well as other fun activities. Themes are new each semester so a child can repeat this class without repeating the themes.

Goals/Objectives: Students will learn colors, weather, shapes, numbers, how to answer what their name is and how they are in Spanish, they will learn to respond to commands in Spanish and give commands in Spanish. In addition to this, students will learn vocabulary that has to do with the semester’s theme. They will get around 10 new words about every 2 weeks plus a handout with more words in case you want to advance them more at home. They will also learn how to answer modeled sentences relating to the theme and vary the answers according to their preferences.

Required Materials: A 3-ring binder to put anything that is printed out from the course or any project done for the class. These are projects and handouts that they can keep in the binder year after year. Your student may want to refer back to it from time to time during other semesters.

Expectations/Homework:  It takes about one hour to get through the main material for the week plus about 30 minutes to do the reviewing to prepare for the following week. There will always be additional activities you can use if desired. The more Spanish work a student does at home the more they will advance. Ideally, you would review Spanish every day for a few minutes.
