PreK- 5th Grade Spanish

¡Hola! My name is María Acevedo-Villeda, and I’m excited to begin my twelfth year at Queens. Originally from Guatemala City, I feel incredibly fortunate to teach your child my native language, Spanish. My passion lies in not only in helping students acquire the Spanish language but also in immersing them in the rich cultures that Spanish-speaking communities offer.

I use the “I Can” Spanish Curriculum, which is thoughtfully designed with guidance from the NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements. Even though I am teaching remotely from my home country, I am thrilled about this opportunity to engage students with a variety of activities, content, and cultural events. My aim is to ensure that every student succeeds in understanding and communicating in Spanish.

Thank you for the opportunity to be part of your child's language journey. Together, we will explore the vibrant world of Spanish and its many cultures!

🌞 Bienvenidos a SOL Spanish Online Learning 🌞

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the SOL Spanish Online Learning Program for Kids! I am excited to begin a new school year full of fun, growth, and learning in Spanish.

📚 Class Schedule

PreK – 4th Grade: Students will have Spanish class once a week for 25 minutes.
5th Grade: Students will meet three times a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) for 45 minutes each class.

🎯 Program Goals

SOL program is designed with age-appropriate learning in mind:

PreK – 4th Grade: Students focus on building basic vocabulary through songs, games, and interactive activities.
5th Grade: Students go beyond vocabulary and begin learning Spanish grammar to prepare for middle school.

By the time students enter 6th grade, the goal is for them to participate in basic conversations in Spanish with confidence.

💡 How Parents Can Support at Home

You play a key role in encouraging Spanish learning! Here are a few simple and fun ways:

Listen to Spanish music together (cumbia, salsa, pop, and children’s songs).
Watch cartoons or shows in Spanish to build listening skills.
Encourage your child to share Spanish words and phrases they are learning.

📩 Communication
