Spanish Introductory and Early Beginner
Grades: K - 1st (Ages: 5 - 7) Co-ed
Let’s start speaking! A fun introduction to a new language where children can learn and practice speaking Spanish with songs, games, movement, storytelling, and hands-on activities in an informal, immersion-style setting. This level is appropriate for new beginners and for students with some previous language experience, which may include children who hear and speak the language at home. Classes are intended for children who are just beginning to read and write in English, or who have not yet begun to read and write
Each session (Fall, Winter, and Spring) introduces children to new vocabulary, topics, and themes. Vocabulary booklets and activities support early literacy skills in the language.
Additional Notes
Minimum 8, Maximum 12 students
Children will bring home a completed activity after each lesson. We encourage parents to review their children’s work and to ask them to share the new words and songs they are learning. Each child will have their own vocabulary booklet to use during class which comes home each week. Please remember to send it back on class days.
Our story and themes rotate so children will learn new vocabulary and concepts each session. Children can participate in Kindergarten and in 1st Grade.
From our experience, children can be hungry after school. Although Big Learning instructors do not provide snacks, there is time for your child to eat a simple snack from home before class starts.
