Course Information

Course Description:

This is an introductory level class in Spanish where you will be developing your skills in listening, speaking, reading and to a certain extent, writing.

We will be learning vocabulary to be used for short stories through different activities throughout the week. These stories are very user friendly with illustrations. Grammar will be taught both indirectly through the stories and directly through classroom instruction.

We will also be studying  the culture of countries like Mexico and Guatemala.

Because this class will be conducted  partially in Spanish it is important that you are both physically and mentally present . As I mentioned in my first announcement,  staying relaxed and non-perfectionist is key. This is a beginning class. Baby steps.

:Phone Policy- Students need to surrender their phones upon entry to class.

Materials; Chromebook charged, notebook, pen, pencil
