Unit Abstract

This unit teaches children to communicate orally in Spanish.  They begin to use basic vocabulary to greet others, introduce themselves, and say good-bye. They also express simple feelings and use appropriate titles with adults.  Children learn that people in both English and Spanish-speaking countries can say the same things in both languages.  Initially they demonstrate understanding of oral directions by responding physically or using one-word or memorized phrases.
