What we have finished...
Kindergarten students will begin learning Spanish on day one of our time together! First we will gather the Spanish words that they already know, and then we will learn words they are eager to use. Students love to share their interests with their classmates. Engaging them in this way is highly motivational and the children learn quickly. Add music, gestures and cooperative activities in which they can interact with their peers and you have a perfect recipe for success. I love the challenge of a new school year! I look forward to working with your child this year!
Thus far students have practiced greeting each other, introducing themselves and saying how they are feeling in Spanish. We are also working on learning numbers 0-20. Click on the links below to hear songs used in class!
