SPANISH, MUSIC & MOVEMENT
"[My daughter] was ecstatic about your class, saying it was so fun and interesting. She asked if she could go more than once a week! She also said it was more fun than pre-school. Thank you for doing such a fabulous job with her and with the other kiddos!" - Tiffany, Menlo Park
SPANISH, MUSIC & MOVEMENT SKILLS COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this Spanish immersion class, the interests and natural curiosities of the children form the basis for an emergent curriculum. I use songs, age-appropriate books and stories, puppets, and visual aids to transmit Spanish language. Humor is a constant presence in my classroom. We laugh, joke, and enjoy each other - in Spanish, of course!
MOVEMENT IN SPANISH
Drawing upon this age group's natural affinity for kinesthetic learning and simultaneously working on gross motor skills, we will dance, jump, clap, slither, and balance our way through Spanish vocabulary. The class will be held in a child-friendly room with abundant natural light - ideal for free movement.
FREE PLAY IN SPANISH
During each of the sessions the children will also spend a portion of the time playing freely and cooperatively with me and each other. I then take this opportunity to interact one-on-on with each child entirely in Spanish. Using their play as a context and focal point for natural language transmission, the children engage me with developmentally relevant toys and activities.
