Spanish
As a first introduction to Spanish, this will be a very interactive class as students learn how to introduce themselves, build conversational skills to talk about everyday topics, and follow simple instructions. We will use games, songs, stories, and creative activities to help students learn. We will emphasize speaking and listening to help students build confidence as they begin using a new language! This elective is offered from Kindergarten to 6th grade students!
