A 60 minute full-immersion lesson followed by a snack for early to mid-level elementary school students. Students will develop basic reading, writing and grammar skills and continue expanding vocabulary and oral communication skills through interactive songs, stories, games and imaginative play that introduce aspects of contemporary Italian culture. Students will use the Raccontami 2 textbook and a series of workbooks developed by Anna Maria Jaker for the course of the two to three year cycle. The workbooks are included in the tuition, but the textbook should be purchased by parents before the first day of class. Used books may be sold and/or purchased through the ICC forum. 12-week semester; no class on February 18 (President's Day); March 3 (Carnevale) or April 7 (Easter).
