Learning another language is beneficial for memorization development in a child’s brain, making it more efficient and flexible. This month children at Fraser Woods Montessori school were able to review and learn basic Spanish phrases and words.

Primary and Lower Elementary students recalled greetings, self-introductions and how to express their basic feelings in Spanish. In addition, children were able to practice the new words learned in a lesson that was placed in their classroom.

Upper Elementary students, as well as all the students had a review of Spanish learned in previous years. Also, they are learning the Spanish alphabet, practicing handwriting, pronunciation and more vocabulary.

Middle school students are working on learning basic grammar, listening, conversation and pronunciation using regular activities related to their interests. On Fridays we have Spanish enrichment where they can learn more about Spanish speaking countries, their history and traditions, using interactive games, videos and other fun activities in class.
