This year's ACTFL conference in Boston was hands down (manos abajo!) the most fun we've had presenting our music and materials.  We met high-energy teachers with great ideas, parents looking for at-home materials for their own kids, grandmas (see the video) and aunties all committed to supporting the learning of a small person in their lives.  It truly was an honor to meet everyone who stopped by booth #1905.  Thank you ACTFL, and stay in touch!

LEARNING SPANISH WITH SING-A-LINGO

singalingo.jpgToday, Jennifer shares kudos for locally based Sing-A-Lingo. Read on to learn more about this musically oriented Spanish learning program, as well as to learn how to be one of two winners to receive Sing-A-Lingo CDs:

We tried out Sing-A-Lingo's En Mi Casa CD, Buenas Noches, Amigos Singable Book, and Lyric & Vocabulary To-Go Cards and I would recommend this program both as a great introductory program, and as a supplemental program for kids who are looking to enhance beginning skills. My four kids range from beginning Spanish speakers to more advanced, and they all enjoy Sing-A-Lingo. The materials are targeted toward the pre-school and early elementary-aged set, but kids slightly older might enjoy independently reading through the books and cards as well. READ MORE

Classes are interactive and fun with ample opportunities to sing, speak, and get up and move.
