Fifth Grade Spanish

This year your fifth grader will experience Spanish once a week for 50 minutes. The elementary program consists of lots of games, songs, and role-playing. It is meant to be a fun and open learning environment. Research shows that students who study languages early in their schooling tend to be more fluent over time.

By the end of this year your student should be able to:

• Recognize, name and find the Spanish speaking countries on a map/globe.
• Recognize, use and know the value of currency used in Spanish speaking countries.
• Know appropriate manners and vocabulary for dining in restaurants.
• Know and use the names of different places and people in the community (PDF).
• Be familiar with and use the vocabulary for the types of transportation used within our community and in other countries.
• Understand how the Core Democratic Values apply to themselves and to other countries.
