Spanish for Children A is designed to introduce Lower- to Middle-school students to the Spanish language, including grammar, vocabulary, and culture. It is the first step on the path to fluency. For the Classical learner, it is also an opportunity to see how one strand of Latin has developed and changed since antiquity, and to let Latin’s most robust grandchild be your gateway to understanding the fascinating worlds of more than 450 million Spanish-speakers in 23 modern countries.
Students enrolling in Scholé Academy’s Spanish for Children A course will be expected to show the development of Executive Function Skills throughout the year. Executive Function Skills speak to a set of qualities and skillsets students can develop and hone to better approach the courses, lectures, readings, and teachers they will face in their future academic coursework.
Required Materials: Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course. These resources are listed to help inform your decision-making as you make course selections and build your course schedule. Please reach out to the instructor if you have any questions about materials.
Optional Course Text:
Annice Hoffman holds a BA in Anthropology from Penn State University. As a young adult, curiosity and a desire to find her neighbor in the wider world led her to spend one summer abroad in Mexico City and another with missionary friends of the family in Paraguay. Following university, she spent a year teaching English at a Christian school in the Dominican Republic, where her Spanish blossomed. After further adventures as an au pair in England and English teacher in Prague, Annice made her way back to Pennsylvania, where she met her future husband. When their first child came, she transitioned from teacher to stay-at-home-mom and, eventually, to homeschool mom. A chance event introduced Annice to the work of Classical Academic Press–and the meaning of Home Education began to clarify; as Classical educators, we were not essentially fleeing from mainstream culture (her move to home schooling had first come as an instinct to protect), but rather racing toward Goodness, Truth, and Beauty.
Annice lives in Erie, Pennsylvania with her husband and three children. Her hobbies are reading, walking, learning other languages, and watching her kids grow.
