Learning new language skills is a hallmark of kindergarten. Students will learn about the alphabet and its role in reading. Students will practice rhyming, matching words with beginning sounds, and blending sounds into words. Practice with these types of activities is a powerful step toward learning to read and spell correctly. The size of your child's vocabulary is another key factor in his or her ability to read and comprehend books and stories. Students also will begin to experiment with writing and will be encouraged to use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing letters to share information, ideas, and feelings.

K-2 Spanish is designed to foster learning and growth of a NOVICE student. A NOVICE student is best able to communicate about him/herself. Topics may include: greetings, personal information such as name, feelings, age, birth month, family information and favorite things (color, animal). According to the American Council on Teaching a Foreign Language (ACTFL), a NOVICE student will communicate short messages on highly predictable, everyday topics that affect them directly. They do so primarily through the use of isolated words and phrases that have been encountered, memorized, and recalled. Novice-level speakers may be difficult to understand even by the most sympathetic interlocutors accustomed to non-native speech.
Students participating in the K-2 Spanish program will progress through the NOVICE sub-levels (Low, Mid, High) at different rates. Typically, K-2 students will function at the NOVICE E LOW sub-level. ACTFL defines NOVICE LOW as students who have no real functional ability and, because of their pronunciation, may be unintelligible in the target language Given adequate time and familiar cues, they may be able to exchange greetings, give their identity, and name a number of familiar objects from their immediate environment. They are unable to perform functions or handle topics pertaining to the Intermediate level, and cannot therefore participate in a true conversational exchange.

Students in 2nd grade will gain more skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. They continue to learn and practice rules for matching sounds to letters that make up words, and they learn new concepts — such as words that share the same root (e.g., add and additional) — that help them figure out the meanings of new words. Writing will become an exciting way for the student to use newly learned words and phrases to express ideas. As they write and speak, 2nd graders will be more attentive to the formal and informal uses of English and will spell most words correctly in their writing.

K-2 Spanish is designed to foster learning and growth of a NOVICE student. A NOVICE student is best able to communicate about him/herself. Topics may include: greetings, personal information such as name, feelings, age, where you live, physical descriptions and like and interests and school vocabulary.
According to the American Council on Teaching a Foreign Language (ACTFL), a NOVICE student will communicate short messages on highly predictable, everyday topics that affect them directly. They do so primarily through the use of isolated words and phrases that have been encountered, memorized, and recalled. Novice-level speakers may be difficult to understand even by the most sympathetic interlocutors accustomed to non-native speech.
Students participating in the K-2 Spanish program will progress through the NOVICE sub-levels (Low, Mid, High) at different rates. Typically, K-2 students will function at the NOVICE E LOW sub-level. As students approach the end of the K-2 program, some students may demonstrate the ability to stretch into the NOVICE MID sub-level; however, their true function of the language will remain in the NOVICE LOW sub-level. ACTFL defines a NOVICE MID student as one who can communicate minimally by using a number of isolated words and memorized phrases limited by the particular context in which the language has been learned. When responding to direct questions, they may say only two or three words at a time or give an occasional stock answer. They pause frequently as they search for simple vocabulary or attempt to recycle their own and their interlocutor's words. Novice Mid speakers may be understood with difficulty even by sympathetic interlocutors accustomed to dealing with non-natives. When called on to handle topics and perform functions associated with the Intermediate level, they frequently resort to repetition, words from their native language, or silence.

Third grade is a pivotal year for students. Learning to read with fluency and confidence will serve as a foundation for the reading demands in later grades. By practicing with learning-to-read strategies, students will reliably be able to make sense of multisyllable words in books. Students will come to appreciate that words have meanings that are not literal (e.g., a piece of cake) and have relationships to other words (e.g., company and companion). Recognizing and understanding words will help students read increasingly challenging stories and books and build knowledge about the world around them. By the end of the year, students also will be writing clear sentences and paragraphs on a range of topics, drawing on an expanding vocabulary.

The study of local history comes alive through the use of artifacts and documents. They also learn how communities are governed and how the local economy is organized.

Intense Foreign Language - Third Grade Spanish is designed to foster learning and growth of a NOVICE student. A NOVICE student is best able to communicate about him/herself. Topics may include: greetings, personal information such as name, feelings, age, where you live, physical descriptions and like and interests, foods, family, houses, chores and school. According to the American Teaching a Foreign Language (ACTFL), a NOVICE student will communicate short messages on highly predictable, everyday topics that affect them directly. They do so primarily through the use of isolated words and phrases that have been encountered, memorized, and recalled. Novice-level speakers may be difficult to understand even by the most sympathetic interlocutors accustomed to non-native speech.

Some of our projects include: ways to make our school a better place, pen pal letters with senior citizens, visits with senior citizens, Halloween candy for homeless, soup kitchen visits, making cards for hospitalized children, collections for the Perry Center, visiting places (like Thriving Threads), collections of pull tabs for the Ronald McDonald House, collections for the homeless, and many others! Our students are excited to serve our school and community, by finding their passion in helping, so they can design ways to help others.

Building the stamina and skills to read challenging fiction, nonfiction, and other materials is fundamental in 4th grade. Students will continue to learn about the world as well as build vocabulary skills by reading more complicated stories and poems from different cultures and a range of books on history, science, art and music. Fourth grade students also will make important strides in their ability to explain plainly and in detail what a book says - both explicitly and what is implied from its details. By 4th grade, students will be writing effecitve summaries, book reports, and descriptions of characters or events that use correct grammar and punctuation.
