Spanish

1st through 12th grades

Taught By Señora Emily West 

Elementary Spanish (1st-4th grade)

This class designed specifically for the elementary crowd is meant to help the students understand that Spanish is fun! They will learn it through immersion in the language, songs, and stories. The focus will be on learning colors, numbers, days of the week, months of the year, animals, weather, and many other things. Students will be using Spanish in class every day, and we will encourage basic conversation. English will only be used as a support for learning, but the class will mainly be conducted in Spanish. Students will also learn some basic writing rules in Spanish, such as spelling lists of vocabulary and some simple sentences. The students will learn to read short sentences and work to reading longer selections in Spanish.


This class is offered remotely over zoom on Mondays from 9:00-9:45 OR in-person on Wednesdays from 10:00-10:45

Advance Spanish 3/4(6th-12th grade)

This class is meant for students that have good working conversational ability in Spanish and have a good grasp on basic vocabulary, but are looking for some refinement of grammar, speaking, and writing. The class is conducted entirely in Spanish, with very limited English support. During each class session, we will work with vocabulary and grammar based around certain themes. Vocabulary and grammar will be presented first, then we will have conversation practice with that topic for the rest of the class period. Students will also learn in depth about the culture of the Spanish speaking world, and we may do some cooking and art creation during class time. Placement in this class at the discretion of Señora West.
