Hello! My name is Diana Garcia and I will be teaching Spanish to students in grades 4th through 8th. I look forward to assisting my students in learning a language that has become so important in today's world.

All of my classes are taught by optimizing immersion using TPRS method. Our class activities are designed to provide students with many opportunities to be involved in the Spanish language at or just above their level of understanding. Each language-building activity is designed to introduce or strengthen the understanding of high frequency words and phrases in Spanish.

What is TPRS?

TPRS stands for Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling. It is based on the idea that the brain needs enormous amount of "comprehensible input" in the language. We choose the most common words and phrases and use them in stories, conversations and other activities. Everything we talk about in the target language is understood by the students.

For more information, please read your grade's syllabus.

The site is organized by grade (under the Navigation tab on the left hand side of the screen.

I am looking forward to a fantastic year!

Sincerely,

Sra.Garcia
