About the Course

Many of our students and their families speak Spanish at home. When having meetings with these families, it is often nice to know the basics of introductions, and how to construct basic sentences using nouns specific to the classroom and the students' performance. This class is geared toward teaching those basics, as well as an introduction to some of the tools offered to help communication with this population of families. The primary outcome of this class is to have our Spanish speaking families feel more welcome and their voices heard with an open line of communication from their teachers.

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Greet others and have introductory conversations  (both formally and informally, understanding when to differentiate between the two).
  • Internalize the impact on families of offering translated documents in the classroom and produce a translated class syllabus. 
  • Conjugate regular -ar, -ir, and -er verbs, as well as understand some of the most popular irregular verbs and how to form sentences around them. 
  • Grade(s): Pre-K Kindergarten 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade Elementary K-5 Secondary 6-12

Excellent way to practice the basics of Spanish. This class helped me reorient myself with Spanish with an additional layer of working with Spanish speaking families.
Ashley Lapham
Great pace of learning and just the right amount of rigor for a beginning speaker. I really liked working at my own pace and will use my new skills with colleagues, students, and families.
Candice Grimm
The lessons were fun, the pacing was spot-on, and and the instructor created a truly safe space to practice speaking. Absolutely loved it!
