SPANISH AT Saint Ann varies from the simple and oral of pre K to the challenging, oral, read, and written of 8th grade. In between we tackle and add on vocabulary, culture, symbols, art, music, literature, and grammar. We explore new countries through videos, photographs, the written word, and many other surprising things along the way.
In addition to Spanish, I also teach 5th and 8th grade global studies. The 5th grade focus is on geography, people, places, and cultures as well as a unit on and field trip to Biztown. The 8th grade U.S. history course begins with the Civil War and continues to the present. I incorporate stories, photos, and video to try and make the historical events come alive.
