Spanish
At Safari Kid we know that learning fluency in a new language is much easier to achieve when you are exposed to it from a young age. However, this is not the only reason why Spanish is included in the Grade 1 curriculum. There are also cognitive advantages such as increased creativity and problem-solving skills, not to mention the vocabulary and reading benefits. Students who are bilingual in Spanish generally have an easier time with vocabulary due to a connection found with Latin word roots. The connections that can be made to others of LatinX descent can also be rewarding. These are the present benefits but being bilingual will also translate into having greater opportunities for colleges and careers in the future.
Our students will continue to learn the basics of Spanish including phonics and letters, numbers, colors, shapes and more. They will also learn to speak conversational Spanish, so that when they are finished, they should be able to speak simple sentences, but with confidence.
