HOW IT WORKS

Teachers follow the Calendar Time scope and sequence or create their own with the Calendar Time scope and sequence template.
Teachers plan each Calendar Time lesson by filling out the Calendar Time lesson plan which includes daily questions, review, daily activities, alphabet activities, geography activities, month activities, and season activities.
Students gain a solid foundation in meaningful Spanish communication that connects them to their environment and gives them a deeper understanding of the world around them and how they fit into that world.
Teachers can use the Calendar Time Guide as a standalone curriculum for preschool or elementary Spanish. For teachers using Sonrisas Level I or Level II, the Spanish calendar activities can be done in the Circle Time segment of each lesson.
