Spanish Summer Homework!
A language requires a lot of repetition and reviewing, especially when they don’t have the exposure to the language. I would strongly recommend you to remind your children to watch videos and movies in Spanish at home and also read picture books where they can learn new vocabulary. Practicing at home will help so much!Videos we watch in class:
