At our school we have Spanish (1st-5th grade), three times a week for 30 minutes. Understanding is achieved with the help of demonstrations, pictures, actions, gestures and objects. The class is mostly done in Spanish, so that children can start getting comfortable with understanding another language. Learning is achieved through games, songs, projects and role play. For a more detailed description of our program, please watch this presentation.
