Our Homeschool Experience:
My daughter and I really enjoyed completing the activities together. She is in the 1st grade and I did not find the activities nor lessons hard for her to complete. Since she knows her colors, numbers, and alphabet in Spanish, I was able to skip the first few pages. I appreciated that I was able to incorporate reading into the activities. For example, I printed out a pair of picture cards for each vocabulary word and glued it to an index card. I had her write the word in Spanish in the back of the index card and also read it. We loved to play the games suggested by the vendor. For example, we played Memory, Hangman, Charades, and Simon Dice (Simon Says) with the vocabulary words. We would also use puppets and chit chat in Spanish using the vocabulary words she had just learned. I appreciated all of the suggested games and activities. The ideas on how to practice the vocabulary words using flashcards were really fun. For example, playing "Spanictionary". In this game, I would read a flashcard then draw it while my daughter would try to guess before the timer went off. She also completed the worksheets and this helped me understand if she needed more assistance with a certain word or lesson. She also learned about the celebration Feria de abril (The April Fair). This two week festival occurs in Seville, Spain. The event gives farmers an opportunity to buy and sell but the fair is mostly a time of celebration. There's food, rides, games, a circus, and flamenco dancing. People often dress in traditional Spanish clothing. Since my daughter had never heard flamenco music, seen the dance, nor seen traditional Spanish clothing, I decided to have her view a video on You Tube Flamenco Dancing. One of the lessons that I personally did not care for was Leccion 2 (Lesson 2). I thought that the lesson celebrated Halloween but the vendor corrected me. She said "Day of the Dead is a holiday that is not Halloween. It is often confused with Halloween, but it is actually a holiday that celebrates and remembers loved ones who have passed on." Due to my misunderstanding, I modified the lesson a bit. I selected what words I wanted her to learn and played games with those particular words. I also had some difficulties with the pages not being numbered. The vendor would refer to the activity by grade level and topic but I think having a page number would of made searching for that particular worksheet a bit easier. Also what activity the student had to complete either a worksheet or the assignment found in the hard book should have also been explained. For example, "Review leccion 1p. 1 with audio." This lack of information made it a bit unclear as to what exactly she had to complete. Following the lesson guide and the worksheets was a bit hard. Even though there were some things I would change about the program, I would recommend it. I loved that the program helped to build vocabulary,reading skills, and used games to help my daughter learn.
