Spanish Champs Program Comes to Our School

Dear Parents,

We are introducing Spanish into our curriculum using the Spanish Champs program developed by Progressive Language, Inc. (PLI), which has a teaching philosophy complementary to our program.

Preschool and kindergarten is the perfect time to start learning a second language. A little effort now can provide a foundation for lifelong success in Spanish. If your child Blue Wolf helps teach Spanish develops a foundation now, they can rapidly accelerate their knowledge of Spanish in later years by tapping into readily available resources like music, books, cartoons, games, software and videos. I want to mention three quick points about learning a second language: don't force it, it must be fun and natural; the more exposure to Spanish, the better; and a child's motivation is a major factor in learning. We include motivational suggestions throughout the program, and will have occasional events to help foster motivation, like including Spanish songs in our school events.

Spanish Champs uses music, puppets, books, games, activities, crafts and video to introduce and reinforce key concepts in Spanish. We will send home simple activities that you should do with your child. The music and video we use at school are available for purchase and can be used at home with the whole family.

Sincerely,

XXXX YYYY Director _____ School

How to Reinforce Spanish at Home

1. Encourage your child to use Spanish at home, especially singing songs they learn.

2. Do the simple worksheets and activities we send home.

3. Use Spanish Champs Song CDs and video DVDs at home together with the illustrated activity book and coloring book. They are available online.
