Spanish Class Information Site
Welcome to the LPE Spanish program parent information site! We developed this site in an effort to keep you better informed of what we will be covering in Spanish class on a grade-level basis and to provide you with reference material and activities that you can use at home. Follow the link corresponding to your child's grade to learn more about what he or she will be taught in Spanish class this year.
How You Can Help
Our class time is limited and any reinforcement you can provide at home would be beneficial. You could simply ask your child what he or she is learning in Spanish each week. That alone would encourage your child to think about and use his or her new Spanish skills. It could help cement the material in your child's mind. If you would like to challenge your child further, you could "quiz" him or her using the reference material we provide on this site as a guide or just let your little one learn by playing the referenced games. As you see that your child masters something, encourage him or her to show it off in class. We love when a child shares with us what he or she has learned!

There are several online reference sites that could be useful in reinforcing
what is being taught in the classroom. The following are examples of sites with
audio files so you can hear the pronunciation of the letters, numbers, colors,
and other vocabulary: Spanish for
Kids from www.123teachme.com and a resource in which many of the games
referenced on this site were found called Spanish Flashcards at
www.spanishspanish.com. The following is a reference to a useful online
dictionary: www.wordreference.com.
