Foreign Language
As we learn about the Spanish language, we realize what a BIG and awesome world God has created. As we explore themes such as colors, family, numbers, community, emotions, and animals, we discover how God reveals himself in and through His creation and how He created with order, precision, and purpose. In order to foster a Biblical worldview, Biblical integration is a regular part of class.
The ultimate goal of foreign language is to develop the necessary skills to understand and communicate in another language, to appreciate other cultures, and to instill compassion to reach others through world missions. We will do that through the skills of phonics, grammar, writing, and listening activities, as well as culture study.
Fifth and sixth graders progressed from basic Spanish greetings to describing and expressing themselves, understanding differences in Hispanic culture and talking about the calendar, seasons, and the weather. This foundation should give them a strong start in any middle school or high school Spanish class.
