I am so lucky to share my native language, customs, and memories with a great
group of students. They are always eager to learn, happy, and lovable.
Spanish Curriculum
Saint Raphael is fortunate to have a strong Spanish program in place. All
children who attend Saint Raphael School have the opportunity to experience
Spanish in the classroom.
Grades K-2 focus on the basic aspects of the Spanish language. They will
touch on themes such as colors, the nuclear family, weather, time, and much
more. In the teaching of each of these themes, incorporation of materials such
as flashcards, posters, music, and children’s videos will compose the
curriculum in the younger grades. Spanish is taught once a week.
Grades 3-5 touch on many of the above activities but in a more advanced stage.
Oral and written expression will be assessed through the incorporation of
grammar, vocabulary, and conversation. These aspects become more and more
vital in grasping the concept of a second language as the years go on. Spanish
is taught twice a week.
Students at all levels will be taught the Hispanic culture with the
incorporation of videos, newspapers, magazine articles, celebrations and
presentations. In learning the aspects of another culture, the students
should find a greater appreciation of their own cultures and for other diverse
cultures all around the world.
