SOS - Spanish Outside School Program Overview |
Developed by the International Spanish Academy (ISA) Committee, the SOS Program has the following objectives:
For 6 Wednesday afternoons, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade Puesta del Sol students speak 100% Spanish and have fun doing it. It's simple: the teacher sets the framework, and ISA students from NHS guide the activities.
"We develop a safe and casual place where interaction happens easily. The kids know what to expect, relax and naturally have fun playing games - all in Spanish." |
“Activities are chosen to practice communication skills, acquire vocabulary, and in their execution, help build confidence through fun." |
"NHS students are instrumental - they keep kids on task, speaking Spanish, having fun - and model ISA success." |
