How do they eat it?  During one class we will open up an owl “pellet” and discover the answers to these questions.  All artwork and note taking will be placed a lapbook and hopefully, we will have the opportunity to see one “live”.

This fun and energetic program, led by a native Spanish speaker, introduces your child to the Spanish language and the Mexican culture.  Through the use of all the senses, your child will enjoy learning the basics of oral and written Spanish.  By the end of the program, your child will understand simple spoken commands, responding appropriately, and will be able to read and write common words and phrases.

Bio:
Martha has a bachelor's degree in Child Psychology, a master's degree in Education, and more than 20 years experience working in poverty-stricken areas of Mexico. Her favorite activities are learning about people, keeping healthy, and spending time with her family. She moved to Canada in 2007 with her husband (Sean) and two children (Alejandro - 15 years, Josué - 12 years) and currently resides in Surrey.


Testimonial:
She is excellent!! Her method and approach to teaching Spanish is very efficient and comprehensive.  Very colorful, animated and easy to remember.  Her didactic approach has from the beginning of the course to the end, a common thread that makes her material easy to remember.  She is very committed to making sure kids learn well.  I think she is not only a natural teacher but a very creative one, which is a bonus. Her curriculum is the most practical.  I was very impressed and the kids were too! They were actually dialoguing at the end of the six weeks.  I hope people take advantage of this great opportunity.
