For the first 4 years 1996 - 2000) of my teaching career, I taught World Language to elementary students only (due to budget cuts, this is no longer offered). This is how it worked: 2 x 20 mins. for K, 1, 2;<br />2 x 30 mins. for 3, 4, 5. I did French for the first half of the year; Spanish for the 2nd half. The kids really did enjoy the class, especially the younger ones. I used to sing a lot with the K - 3 students. I would play games like 7-up, Pictionary with the older kids. If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Our elementary school has just one Spanish teacher for the whole school, and we don't share her with any other buildings.<br /><br />It's one of their favorite classes- because she incorporates what we're learning in class into her lessons. So when we study weather, the kids are learning weather words in Spanish, when we learned about famous Americans this year, she shared about some famous Costa Ricans. She goes above and beyond to blend the lessons- and always incorporates an art or music activity into the lesson. <br /><br />We are really blessed with our Spanish teacher!<br /><br />~Heather<br /><a href="http://themeekmoose.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Meek Moose</a>The Meek Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764671511197083830noreply@blogger.com
