Spanish I - Elementary School

Elementary Spanish K–2 is designed to align with the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) standards and provides a fun, interactive experience for a student’s first exposure to the Spanish language.

Designed specifically for younger students, the course focuses principally on vocabulary acquisition through stories, games, songs, and practice activities. Introducing entry level foreign language learning concepts, the content for each unit is based on an authentic story, myth, or legend from Spanish speaking cultures. Students are exposed to the Spanish language and Spanish speaking cultures in an engaging environment, where they can explore meanings and begin to express themselves through simple words and phrases.

Each unit focuses on building basic Spanish vocabulary and phrases as well as using them in context of a conversation. Students explore greetings, numbers, family words, colors, school words, body words, animals, calendar words, food, and descriptions.
