After reviewing numbers and colors lessons from the first two weeks of the class, instructor Shayna Thomas, a Spanish education and elementary education major at UWSP, taught young children the song “Head, shoulders, knees and toes,” but in Spanish, “Cabeza, hombros, rodillas, y pies.”
“Let’s Learn Spanish” aims to achieve a high level of enthusiasm for the Spanish language in children ages 4-7. The children gain a basic understanding and enthusiasm for the Spanish language. Thomas uses visual and audio aids as well as movement-based activities to teach children basic words and phrases in Spanish while having fun.
