¡Bienvenidos a la clase de español!
We are excited to start another amazing year of Spanish in our Primary Years Program Grades K-5. We will continue to use Sombrero Time as our base curriculum while incorporating IB profiles and units of inquiry when possible. We provide approximately 30-40 minutes of instruction time per class Mondays through Thursdays. Our focus is on Engagement of the student through the four phases of language: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing; with our primary focus on Listening in the younger years. Second Language learners need as many hours and exposure to the secondary language as possible!

Homework Packets: for school-home connections! This is supplementary work that you can help with at home. It is a great way to check-in with your child's progress, reinforce what we are teaching and have fun with at home! We will be sending these out every few months. The PDF's are also available here for download. Many websites for Spanish learners can facilitate these activities.
