St. Francis Xavier School

We are fortunate at SFX to offer Spanish lessons to all our students.  In the Early Ed classes (Pre-K through 2nd grades) we cover several themes to introduce them to the language while using a ludic approach. Songs, dance, music, videos, and engaging activities are all part of our lessons. The students learn while having fun, and keeping a positive attitude toward their learning experience.

• Colors

• Alphabet

• Numbers

• Greetings and salutations

• Animals

• Body parts

• Holidays are amongst the themes covered.

​

As for grades 3 through 5, we start them with a non-traditional grammatical approach, using a textbook for both classes. The students get to experience and learn new vocabulary such as:

• Calendar, weather, and time

• Sports, activities, and hobbies

• Going to the market

• Housing

• Professions

• Proper sentence creation and usage

 

Lastly, our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders have a textbook used to prepare them for high school needs. This curriculum is spread throughout their 3 years of middle school. While they still review past notions, we work more diligently around real-world experiences, strategies, and culture-filled activities.

​

We strive to boost their confidence while expanding their communication skills.
