Studies show that children learn another language more easily when it is a topic that they find fun and interesting. This year’s Vamos series incorporates useful and exciting Spanish vocabulary, culture, and conversation skills. In our ¡Vamos a Comer! (Let’s Eat!) classes (Oct-Dec), students will be introduced to the market experience from Spanish speaking countries, ordering food in a restaurant, and vocabulary to use at mealtime. In our ¡Vamos con los Animales! (Let’s go with the Animals!) classes (Feb-April), students will experience imaginary animal adventures with hands-on lessons “visiting” a pet store, a family farm, the zoo, the ocean, and even the rainforest! Don’t miss out on this valuable opportunity for your child to practice Spanish in an interactive bilingual classroom.
