A 60 minute immersion lesson, following a school wide snack, for bilingual children pre-school to Kindergarten and early elementary. Students will prepare for reading and writing: they will become familiar with the sounds of the Italian alphabet, vowels and syllables; they will expand their home acquired vocabulary and oral communication skills through interactive songs, stories, filastrocche, games, and imaginative play; they will be exposed to many aspects of Italian culture, from traditional holidays to geography. Students will use the Raccontami 1 textbook. The purchase of this book is optional because the school will provide enough books to share in the class. However if you prefer to buy your own textbook it can be purchased by parents before the first day of class.
No classes on Feb.13 (President's day); March 19(Spring break); March 26 (Easter)
Spring Party on last day of school April 30, in room 502.
