Spanish
St. Theresa faculty has written and implemented a program to teach the Spanish
language for grades K-8th. Each grade level has defined sequential goals to meet
the needs of all students. We begin in Kindergarten, First, and Second grade with
the introduction of, pronunciation and enunciation of Spanish vocabulary. The
expectations in the middle grades include reading, writing, and speaking in
conversational settings. The ultimate goal is for the upper grades (6-8) to speak,
write, and read Spanish at a proficiency level allowing them to be enrolled in
advanced Spanish at the high school.
St. Theresa School provides a concise curriculum that effectively organizes and
integrates important Spanish language skills. It provides a Spanish curriculum
that prepares students for continued study and for communication in a variety of
school, home, and work settings. This curriculum supports our mission statement
to create an atmosphere that combines structure and creativity, while instilling an
enthusiasm for life-long learning.
The Spanish program emphasizes, a wide variety of skill-building strategies that
encompass all learning styles, thus creating an inclusive environment. Students
are encouraged and invited to participate in understanding the Spanish cultural
traditions. This is accomplished in the classroom as well as field trips to
restaurants where students order in Spanish. This is also expanded through
cultural celebrations that include: Mexico's Independence Day, Dio De Los
Muertos (The day of the dead), Our Lady of Guadalupe, Las Posadas, Los Tres
Reyes Magos (Epiphany), and 5 de Mayo.
