In this introductory foreign language class, students will be introduced the basics of the Spanish language. Topics will include greetings, introductions, counting, family, and home. Much of this class will be conversation based, and students will be expected to speak to one another using Spanish. Independent writing skills (such as copying off a board) are helpful, but not required. Homework is not required for this class, however students are likely to be more successful if they review their vocabulary and practice their speaking at home in between classes!

After a brief history of sewing, & learning the parts of a machine we will begin making some fun projects!
Using some basic math skills, we will cut & sew a magic pillowcase. After mastering this we will move on to making a decorator monogram pillow using fusible web transfers, zigzag applique stitches and pillow construction. Then as we continue to build our skills, we will make a drawstring backpack and a matching zippered pencil case.
Students will provide their own fabric which is minimal for each project (savvy moms can use coupons!). This gives the child a chance to pick out a favorite color, theme, or character print. Sewing machines, thread and any sewing tools needed for construction will be provided.
