Spanish Twice a Week at St. Elizabeth’s
Spanish at St. Elizabeth?s School occurs twice a week for half an hour with the child’s grade level. We use the Sonrisas Spanish School Curriculum which is filled with fun, effective, standards-based lessons. Instead of using worksheets and workbooks, we use music, games, role-play, stories, drama, and art to engage the students? imagination and help them learn Spanish naturally.
When students are able to connect with the content of the lesson, they are able to engage and learn. In addition, our Spanish curriculum includes a cultural piece, in which the students “travel” to Spanish-speaking countries and learn about their culture, history, food, etc. This allows them to expand on the world that they know so they can engage to a fuller extent in the
global community.
