Are you teaching your kids Spanish at home? Are you looking for a support group to help you through the school year? My friend, Kali, from For the Love of Spanish is getting ready to launch a new term of Jump Into Spanish!
This is a paid membership group (one-time fee $99). Designed for children ages 3 to 9, the program consists of six 12-week terms in all, so it's like a 2-year program, and the lesson plans are all sent directly to members' inboxes each week. There's also a FB group connected to it for further community/support.
If you are a homeschooler, you'll probably understand when I say that this program follows a Charlotte Mason approach. Each month there is a suggested poem, folk song, and weekly vocab themes. Each lesson should take approximately 15 to 20 minutes a day.
Here's Kali's schedule:
- MONDAY: Vocab + Learning a classic folk tale in Spanish (This coming term, they’re working through La gallinita roja [The Little Red Hen].)
- TUESDAY: Vocab + Spanish poetry (The kids actually memorize a few Spanish poems each term!)
- WEDNESDAY: Vocab + Game (Just any little game you choose to make the learning fun…I make suggestions in the weekly emails.)
- THURSDAY: Vocab + Booklet (I make a little booklet you print out each week…kids add the illustrations or sometimes just color in the illustrations.)
- FRIDAY: Vocab + Folk Song (They work on memorizing a few Spanish folk songs each term.)
The new term starts on September 2nd, but she lets people join at any time.
