Spanish Class
Students Kindergarten through 6th grades have Spanish classes twice weekly in the Spanish classroom located immediately to your right as you come through the front door of our school! The Spanish room incorporates an “International Theme” with a large world map and flags from around the world are featured above the map. Current events from around the world are often on topic during Spanish class!
Various topics of language study are taught on a monthly basis and then reviewed throughout the year. Currently, we follow this pattern for the year:
August/September: greetings, colors, days of the week
October: months of the year and school terms
November: numbers and family terms
December: animals
January: clothing
February: food terms
March: verbs and telling time
April: body terms
May: emotions terms and general review
Students participate in three stations for most Spanish classes: oral conversation, notebook writing/activity, and Duolingo. All students in grades 3rd through 6th have a Duolingo account that they may continue to use outside of school if they wish. The students learn to write in Spanish, speak in Spanish, and to learn in Spanish while having fun using a second language on a bi-weekly basis!
