Where love of
learning begins
Spanish
Learning a second language prepares students to participate in a global world and facilitates and improves later language acquisition. Our K–5 students learn Spanish through games, talking, speaking, singing, and reading with our Spanish Specialist, a native Spanish speaker, in their twice-weekly sessions.
Language is the road map of a culture.
It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.
—Rita Mae Brown
Spanish is an active class when children identify objects, play games, and sing action songs. The students explore reading books in Spanish, understanding context, writing words, building sentences, and learn to express themselves using as much Spanish as possible. They learn to describe objects and situations and express feelings and ideas. Students develop good pronunciation and intonation, and they know how to follow oral or written directions. All activities reinforce vocabulary and concepts that are being studied. They leave able to hold simple conversations, understand simple questions, and give complete answers.
