Elementary School Spanish Syllabus 2017-2018 Mrs. Lourdes Pérez website: www.ckseattle.org email: lperez@ckseattle.org Program Overview Elementary School Spanish Curriculum Map The elementary school s Spanish program is designed to introduce the student to the Spanish language and diverse cultures. The program explores the language through thematic chapters that combine vocabulary, grammar, and cultural elements. Students practice the grammatical construct of the language through visual aids. Introduction to writing in Spanish is added in the latter grades. The use of Spanish increases as the students move from one grade to the next. Spiral learning and repetition are important elements when learning a language and our program recycles and introduces new and old material at the same time. It is our goal that graduates of Christ the King Catholic School who started Spanish in elementary school will test out of Spanish 1 when they get to High school. Goals and Objectives Introduce the student to the Spanish language. Complete simple tasks and projects while communicating entirely in Spanish. Increase and enhance their knowledge of grammar in order to promote correct communication strategies and patterns. Gain insights into English and Spanish cultural and linguistic similarities and differences as reflected in the languages. Be able to write simple letters and brief synopses, paraphrases. To express time, tense, or aspect with some precision. Be able to read with full understanding simple connected texts. Be able to use Spanish as a stepping-stone to understand other cultures.

Homework In the younger age groups, repetition is the best tool. Ask your student to tell you any new words or sentences. Homework/study time is a critical part of learning a language. If there is no homework assigned, students should be studying vocabulary. Homework will receive full credit simply by its completion. It is expected that the students will take chances and reach beyond their comfort zone when doing homework. Quizzes Quizzes will be given starting 3th grade, to assess students understanding of course concepts. Quiz results will help the teacher in the assessment of the course s pace and content. To perform well on quizzes, students must keep up with the material and homework. Assessment Students participation in class is used to assess understanding. Therefore, there will be a portion of the final grade each semester that is based on participation. The student s attitude and effort in class will be very influential in the process report grade mid trimester. Formal report cards will be mailed at the end of each trimester. Absences It is the student s responsibility to obtain class notes and assignments that were given in their absence. Arrange with a friend to obtain the class notes and homework given. If a student is absent for one day, any homework assignment must be completed by the second day after their return. If they are absent for more than two days, arrangements for assignments need to be made with the teacher. If a student is absent on the day of a test, the student must make arrangements with the teacher to take the test ASAP. The student is responsible for all materials covered and assignments missed during an absence. Asking for help Spanish moves at a fast pace. If you ever feel that you don t fully understand something, please let the teacher know as soon as possible so it can be explained differently. Every lesson in Spanish is a communication building block. If one misses too many blocks, communication is weak at best. Please do not wait until it is too late. Having fun Learning a foreign language may seem like a daunting proposition, but it does not have to be. It is an opportunity to open new doors, new opportunities and new cultures. With an open mind, some work, a bit of courage and a willingness to not take oneself too seriously, it can be a fun journey of discovery.
