SPANISH Language at Diamond Path
Elizabeth Klinkner and Erik Hensel
Bienvenidos!
Spanish is one of two languages offered at Diamond Path School of International Studies. Students in grade levels 1-5 average 90 minutes a week in Spanish, and 60 minutes a week in Kindergarten. The goal in Spanish is to promote the importance of learning a world language within a meaningful and authentic context..
The language program focuses on all four language areas: speaking, reading, listening and writing. Classes will be conducted in the target language consistently for instruction and, during the year, students will experience authentic social and cultural situations, art, music, games, and stories. The main language objective for the students this year is to learn how to use adjectives to describe nouns, and how that happens differently in Spanish.
The ability to speak Spanish has permanently changed the global perspective of Diamond Path’s two Spanish teachers. Our goal as Spanish teachers is to provide the language ability that will allow the same perspective changes in all of our students for the rest of their lives.
