Class Descriptions
PRESCHOOL SPANISH
The fun begins! Lots of songs and games in this class, with lots of opportunity but little expectation for the student to speak. Here we fine-tune those little ears to hearing a new language! A 30 minute long class, parents are not expected to attend.

SPANISH 1
No pre-requisite is required for level 1, just a willingness to learn! Here we learn phrases the student will want to take home, like greetings, basic manners, tell you when they're hungry/thirsty and how much of something they'd like, colors and numbers, and more. The student will be able to order from our mock restaurant by the end of the course! Includes "passport" and booklet for supportive home study.
SPANISH 2
Now that they're fully introduced to basic Spanish, we'll talk about going places and what we need to do to prepare to get there! Things like "where are we going?" "put on your coat, it's cold outside!". The student will begin to conjugate on their own. We continue to fill their passports, and the next book for home study is still included. Must have completed level 1.

Kalie Knaras
Hi! My name is Señora Kalie. I am and always will be a student of the beautiful language of Español. I studied Spanish for the first time in high school, served in Hispanic communities in the United States, minored in Spanish in college, and studied abroad in Logroño, Spain. When I became a mother, I knew I wanted to teach my children when they were young to make learning a language that much easier! I am now a full-time homeschooling mother to my four young children and we enjoy learning Spanish together. I'd love to help your children in their own language learning adventure!
When I am not teaching, I enjoy running, volleyball, painting watercolor illustrations, or trying to figure out how to get my bread to bake faster. I love organizing events and being creative by decorating cakes and creating graphics. One of my goals is to eventually take my family on an immersion language trip to the various Spanish speaking countries. I strongly believe learning another language is not only fun, but it's a wonderful way to welcome new people into our lives, build bridges in our communities around the world, and make new friends.
