PreK to 3rd Grade Spanish

Dear Parents and Guardians:

!Bienvenidos! I am Mrs. Kent and  I will be your child’s Spanish teacher. This is my
11th  year at Notre Dame Academy .We are beginning an exciting journey together as your child learns more  about the Spanish language and culture.  The  Spanish program for  Pre-K 3 , kindergarten to 1st grade is centered  around a  communicative approach  that emphasizes oral language skills relevant  day to day use. For grades 2-3 is centered around  a communicative approach that incorporates the four main language skills of speaking, reading,listening, and writing  that are used in everyday life. Your child  will receive Spanish instruction on a weekly basis for 45 minutes.

Learning a second language is an exciting opportunity that is very useful in today’s diverse world . My goal this year is helping your child to develop vocabulary and knowledge of key phases in the Spanish language and also to appreciate cultural differences between  our culture and those of Spanish - speaking countries around the world.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Mrs. Kent
