Classes also include time to pray: Your child has already learned: El Padre Nuestro, El Salve María, La Coraza de San Patricio and Arcangel San Miguel. They will continue to pray these at the start of class this year so they might become commited to memory.

Words of Wisdom
Over the years, I have been asked repeatedly, “How can I help my child?” Below are some suggestions of how you might be able to help your child succeed.
Encourage your child to participate in every class. Class time is their best opportunity to gain practice. If they review grammar and vocabulary outside of class they can spend class time practicing. When others are called on to speak they should try to participate silently and listen.
Help your child develop a positive attitude toward learning a second language. Remind them that it is okay to make mistakes and to use them as opportunities to learn. Their focus needs to be on accomplishing the task and not on their performance.
