"Teacher is fun and teaches Spanish in a fun way.  We will definitely be signing up with her again."

Jordan is have the BEST time taking your class and I’ve been really impressed with how much he is learning!…Thanks again and I look forward to more classes from you.

"That was a great class!

I was late to the game registering (after we confirmed a time via the facebook group a few weeks back), and admittedly I didn't get around to setting any expectations with Eleanor about the class--except that we'd be doing a fun Spanish class on the computer. She's never done an online class like this before, so the whole thing was new to her. She LOVED it though! Afterwards I asked what she thought about it, and her reply was, "It was awesome!"

We're excited to do some practicing before next week's class. (And this is jogging my memory, too, from the 4 years of Spanish I took in High School!)

Any tips you have for me and/or Eleanor?"

Thanks so much!

Can I see a sample lesson plan? What do they look like?

I can't include a sample lesson plan because of the nature of the system, but I can tell you about it. Each lesson is a carefully planned out sequence of songs with dance, books and physical activities that will keep your students moving and engaged. Kids this age thrive on movement and repetition so these lessons are packed full of both. Each subsequent lesson repeats enough material to hook into a little's desire to know what's coming next and enough variation to keep them engaged. Once you complete these 6 lessons, you will have all of the tools you need to continue the pattern by working in the other songs that are included in the package but not in the lesson plans to extend your use of the package even further. Add in your own flair with commentary and directions about how to share, whose ball is whose etc. I include lyrics sheets for the caregivers. You can either print and post during class if you teach caregiver & me style classes or print and distribute. You can also simply send caregivers to the ¡Canta! Songs to Learn Spanish page on this website if you so choose.
