Class Description
Our Conversational Spanish Immersion classes are designed for students of all levels--for those just starting to learn the concepts of print, for early readers, and also for those students who need a more challenging and rigorous environment.
Classes offer students a full immersion, small-group classroom setting that is fun and play-based (for our younger students). These classes focus primarily on conversational Spanish, although our more rigorous Level 3 classes will include all academic disciplines, plus encourage and focus on students' presentation skills.
Our Spanish Immersion classes are taught using a thematic approach, and are designed to include a rich set of developmentally appropriate activities for learning Spanish such as read-alouds, music/songs, poems, games, movement, crafts, visual aids, student presentations, writing journals, and more. Our teachers focus on introducing new concepts and teach Spanish by relying and building on your child’s current knowledge, by teaching concepts that they’re already familiar with in their native language, by comparing and contrasting vocabulary, and by applying higher order of thinking skills during class. Many of our activities are project-based and incorporate a wide variety of activities and academic skills. We also differentiate our instruction according to students’ age and level of proficiency, and our goal is to incorporate numerous activities to reach all different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic).
Our in-person and online classes also incorporate the use of technology. We use learning games such as Kahoot!, Lotería, JeopardyLabs, Quizlet and Blooket to make learning fun and to reinforce classroom concepts. Students are provided with access to online interactive activities via Seesaw so learning can continue at home and outside of class. Our program’s main goal is to provide as much access to the Spanish language as possible in class as well as outside of class, while still making learning fun and engaging.
Rather than just being able to say a few words in Spanish, our goal is for each child to have fun, develop a deep understanding of the language, and leave class with a desire to learn!
Level 1: For students who are new to the language, and/or have had limited or minimal exposure to Spanish.
Level 2: For students who can carry a very basic conversation in Spanish (name, age, where you live, etc.), and/or have Spanish support at home. Students should have adequate knowledge of colors, numbers, shapes, days of the week, and months of the year. Focuses on building vocabulary, and basic sentence structure, as well as learning to communicate using that vocabulary with their peers.
Level 3: A continuation of Level 2, where students apply what they have already learned to higher-order thinking skills, engage in more reading and writing activities, and hold deeper conversations with their peers. Completing Level 2 is not required to enroll in Level 3, depending on the student's knowledge of Spanish, and the teacher's discretion.
Level 4: For students who are able to carry a more advanced conversation in Spanish (talk about likes, dislikes, and carry a deeper conversation about reading material in class), as well as understand Spanish text. This class focuses more on grammar and is the last class prior to moving to our Spanish 1 classes for Jr. High Students.
Literacy: For our TK-1st grade students, these classes are beginning level classes that focus on learning to read and prepare your child for a dual immersion program or help your child thrive in their current program. For students in 2nd grade and up, these classes focus on reading to learn and are designed for current/former dual immersion students and/or native or fluent Spanish speakers. All of our literacy classes focus on reading fluency, comprehension, writing, and grammar.
