¡Bienvenidos! 2016-17 Spanish with Señora Swift

Welcome to another year of Lower School Spanish!  I am looking forward to working with students across the grades from EC to Grade 5.  We are off to a good start!

Students in grades K & 1 will begin the year learning/reviewing basic phrases like ¿Cómo estás? (How are you?) and ¿Cómo te llamas?  (What is your name?).  Students in grade 2 will start preparations for their imaginary trip to Spain!  Students in grade 3 will take their study of greetings a step further to create comics using the various phrases.  Students in grade 4 will take it even further when they learn the difference between the formal "usted" and informal "" forms of "you" to create a short skit that will be recorded on video. Finally, students in grade 5 will add new phrases to their vocabulary in order to interview and orally present a friend to the class.

Of course, we will take a short break on September 16 to learn more about Mexico to celebrate Mexico's Independence Day.  The younger students will create their own Mexican flags to act the ¡Viva México! celebrations. The older students will get a chance to make their own guacamole and salsa to sample!  Stay tuned for Independence Day celebrations on my "Spanish with Señora Swift" blog!
