Each week is a new theme designed to make learning Spanish fun and of high interest to students!

Other ways that you can begin your morning with Spanish is through simple greetings and phrases as you greet each other around the breakfast table and/or identify the foods that students will eat. These small interactions help students to use their language skills in the real world!
Throughout the day, aim to make Spanish immersion fun with songs, shows, and bilingual books! Need help? Sarah’s Spanish School will plan fun and engaging lessons filled with games, songs, and activities for you!
