ABSí Spanish
This is a Spanish language enrichment program, created specifically for 3-10 year olds. The thematic, vocabulary building units teach academic and conversational Spanish using visual, auditory and kinesthetic activities. Classes take place once a week and are the perfect option for parents who want to give their child an early start in learning a second language. The sessions build upon and reinforce previous learning, so that students can begin making connections and acquire more language. Families in the program get monthly class descriptions and home extension ideas as well. This, in combination with consistent class participation, allows students to progress at a faster pace. www.absispanish.comArt –Young Rembrandts
