Spanish Announcment

ENRICHMENT en español

Interested in tutoring - Individual or group ? This alternative of learning goes a long way in understanding the basics. Location is flexible & I promise to make it fun and worthwhile for your student.

Other fun and effective Spanish enrichment ideas -
• Spanish CD’s in the car. The students will recognize songs from class :
o Let’s Sing and Learn in Spanish by Neraida Smith. Comes with CD & book, with translations in English.
o Soy Una Pizza – CD by Charlotte Diamond
o José Luis Orozco has several CD’s for children.
o Olé Olé (not sure of CD musician, but songs first sung in English and then in Spanish. Kids love the fun approach this CD takes to the language.

The library (biblioteca) has a collection of children’s Spanish books that’s excellente. Try simple, familiar ones or with English translation.

Start your own biblioteca. ‘’Half Price Books’’ has a childrens’ Spanish section that’s fantástico !!

Games for all grade levels can be played on my Spanish web-page. http://www.olgschool.net/staff/temple.html Its’s available all summer long.

Log on to a free tutorial @

Your niños have been ‘’fantásticos’’. ……..
