Spanish, Food, and Vocabulary (and appetite!) Building


Tuesdays, 3:30-4:00 p.m. (6-13 years) online class
​
​Classes begin on June 7, 2022 on Zoom and runs in June, July & August.
​
​​
Using fun and funny imagery, food art, and games, this online class focuses on building food vocabulary and basic conversation skills for talking about (and asking for) food. With a heavy emphasis placed on  verbalization and natural acquisition methods, children will also learn how to express food and drink needs and preferences. The course is designed for verbal, visual, auditory and (when possible) kinesthetic learners.

Forward Thinking
Spanish, Future Grammar Tenses and Conversation
​

Tuesdays, 4:10-4:40 p.m. Middle and High School, online class
​Classes begin on June 7, 2022 on Zoom and runs in June, July & August.


This class builds and strengthen students' comfort with regular and irregular verbs in two future tenses (el futuro cercano y el futuro simple.) If time and bandwidth allows, the class may also cover the future perfect.
While this class has a grammatical, structural focus, we will also work on speaking and writing about the future, using compelling imagery and creative prompts to elicit responses​.

Students should have an established level of comfort conjugating verbs in the present tense.

Crazy Conundrums
Spanish Conversation, Ethics & Situational Problem Solving


Tuesdays, 5:25-5:55 p.m. (11-16 years) online class
​
​Classes begin on June 7, 2022 and runs in June, July & August.
​​
Conducted entirely in Spanish, this class is designed to foster lively conversation as we analyze and strategize responses to real and imagined ethical dilemmas or preposterous and impossible situations. We will explore topics with known, predictable outcomes and ambiguous situations in which consequences need to be intuited, projected or imagined. To stretch and build vocabulary, each week's dilemma will intersect with a wide range of contexts (social, familial, business, health, political, internet, etc.)

Spanish, Music & Motor Skills
Caregiver & Me, in person, Palo Alto, CA  (Ages 0-6)
Note: For the in-person class, a vaccinated adult must be present with your child.
Please provide proof of vaccination at time of enrollment.

Tuesdays, 9:30-10:15 a.m.
Summer class begins on June 8, 2022 and runs in June, July & August.
​​
Contextualizing new vocabulary with a wide range of highly engaging, age-appropriate songs, finger plays, and movement, we work thematically through word groups (i.e. the body, African animals, farm animals, pets, weather), simultaneously emphasizing colors, counting, etc., with the intention of building a broad Spanish vocabulary base.

This class uses humor, puppets, visual aids, movement and a theatrical approach to language transmission. Music is a constant presence in the class and as we intentionally repeat lyrics and melodies, children as young as 18 months begin to sing along.

Spanish, Movement and Theater

Thursdays, 4:05-4:50 p.m. (ages 4 to 9) in person, Palo Alto, CA.
Summer class begins on June 8, 2022 and runs in June, July & August.
​

In this Spanish class, we move thematically through vocabulary groups, using theater techniques, songs, and visual aids to transmit Spanish language. Humor is a constant presence as we laugh, joke, and embody new vocabulary.

MOVEMENT IN SPANISH
Drawing upon this age group's natural affinity for kinesthetic learning while simultaneously working on gross motor skills, we will dance, jump, clap, play and balance our way through Spanish vocabulary.

Reading Readiness (ENGLISH)
Thursdays, 5:55-6:40 p.m. (4-7 years) in person, Palo Alto, CA
Class begins on June 8, 2023 and runs in June, July & August.

With funny puppets, engaging imagery for visual learners, rhyming, and word games, we will play with word groups and learn about their functions. 

The primary goal of the class is to inspire a love of reading and an openness to and excitement about letters and literacy.

This class is appropriate for all children who have shown an interest in letters and their sounds. It is also designed for children in non-English language immersion programs, and children for whom English is not a first language.

    CONTACT
    Please indicate the day and time of the class that is of interest.

    ​I also appreciate receiving information about your child's learning style, temperament and level of language exposure.
