Spanish 

Bienvenidos a la clase de Español

Welcome to a new school year and to Spanish class! This year promises to be an exciting one, filled with new learning experiences and challenges. I am very happy to be part of one of those challenges. The goal of the Spanish program at Saltwater P-9 College is to provide the tools to understand and communicate with others using basic Spanish vocabulary. The progress and assessment of students is mostly based on classroom performance, which includes class participation, effort, and behaviour. In our weekly lessons we will spend time perfecting the four skills necessary for learning a foreign language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing short sentences in Spanish.

In the past weeks our Prep students and new students have been introduce to the Spanish language by singing, dancing and learning simple ways to greet their teachers and peers using: 

• Hola (Hello) to the teacher and class piers
• Buenos días (Good morning)
• Adios (good by)

In our grades one to four we have been revising previous Spanish vocabulary:

• Greeting teachers and peers in Spanish
• Hola, Buenos días, Adios
• Asking and responding simple questions in Spanish

¿Cómo te llamas? (What is your name)

¿Cuántos años tienes? (How old are you?)

¿Puedo ir al baño? (Can I go to the toilet?)

Adiós” and waving goodbye

• Singing songs to practice:

Parts of the body, numbers, colours and directions in Spanish

I am looking forward to an exciting year learning about the language and culture

of the Spanish speaking community.

Adios..

Señor Pasten.
