Spanish Beginner and Intermediate
Grades: 2nd - 5th (Ages: 7 - 12) Co-ed
Open a window to another culture, communicate in another language, and make discoveries! Big Learning instructors are fluent in the language they teach and lessons are designed to build practical language and early literacy skills in a fun, informal language immersion setting with lively games, songs, activities, and an accompanying workbook.
This level is appropriate for new beginners and also for continuing students with previous language experience. Classes may include students who have completed one or more beginner or intermediate sessions and also children who hear and speak the language at home. Our teachers will make student assessments to form groups and tailor instruction with differentiated activities and workbooks. Students who are ready for more advanced material will be given intermediate or advanced workbooks. As children progress from beginner to advanced, there is more writing practice.
Classes are intended for children who are already reading and writing in English. Each session (Fall, Winter, and Spring) explores different themes and topics.
Additional Notes
Minimum 8, Maximum 12 students.
Please set @biglearning.org as a safe sender in your email provider so you will receive notifications about this class.
During each class, there will be plenty of time for activities, dialogues, games, and songs to keep students engaged and speaking the target language. Each child will have their own Workbook to use during class. Workbooks will be sent home each week-please remember to return them on class days.
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.
