First Grade Spanish
This year your first grader will experience Spanish once a week for 50 minutes. Through games, songs and stories, the children will be learning basic Spanish such as colors and numbers in addition to topics that relate to the general curriculum. They will also begin to develop an awareness of the culture of Spanish-speaking countries through stories, songs and projects. At this stage of their development, the focus is on oral and listening skills in Spanish. Research shows that students who study languages early in their schooling tend to be more fluent over time.
Below, you will find an outline of the topics your child will learn about this year in Spanish. I will also be sending home a newsletter periodically to keep you informed. Please feel free to contact me at belinhe@lc-ps.org.
