La clase de español
Our textbook series is ¡Viva el espanõl! The overall objective of this series is to develop, reinforce and refine communicative competency in listening, speaking, reading, writing and culture. We accomplish this by using two methodologies: The Natural Approach and Total Physical Response. These methods teach us Spanish the same way we learned our first language. The results are greater retention and a greater ability to create new and meaningful messages.In Mrs. Iannazzo’s classroom there is a lot of listening, modeling, positive reinforcement, and meaningful and effective communication in a low-stress, non-threatening environment. There is movement, singing, games, partner and group work.
The curriculum provides opportunities for you and your child to interact in Spanish through the Home Connection page Mrs. Iannazzo sends home periodically. Don’t throw it away! Have fun with the activities on it!
