The emphasis at this level is on oral language development with a focus on listening and speaking skills. Beginning reading and writing activities now become an important part of the program as well. Culture is an important part of our language study. Concrete and interdisciplinary activities involve students in oral language development within a social context. Students communicate through words and memorized phrases within a context as students combine words and phrases for a daily exchange of information about everyday topics.
Students recite key Bible verses.
Spanish classes are held daily. Music Building sequentially each year, students are exposed to musical concepts and skills. These concepts include melody, rhythm, form, harmony, meter, patterns, phrasing, direction, timbre and expressive qualities. As students progress they experiment with harmony, learn to read music and play recorders. We explore and master skills and concepts through singing, playing instruments, listening, clapping, chanting, and moving.
