Description:

¡Viajemos! is an immersive journey into the Spanish-speaking world that combines an organic approach to Spanish language learning with engaging activities that foster cultural appreciation.

Among other activities, students will prepare Puerto Rican Tres Leches Limber (a frozen nut-free treat); craft Latin American Bingo cards to use in a game of Lotería; go on a Búsqueda de Tesoros (Spanish Scavenger Hunt focusing on fall-related vocabulary); and design their own maracas to shake as they dance and learn the chorus of El Latido de Mi Corazón from Disney’s Coco.

The class, which begins just ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month, will also celebrate the cultures and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the U.S. and highlight local heritage and immigrant communities.

Sarah Caruso is local to Swarthmore and currently teaching at Swarthmore Presbyterian Nursery Day School. She is fluent in Spanish and Japanese and has had experience teaching both languages to children through creative activities. Her two sons have participated in classes and camps and we are excited to have her as a teaching artist this year!
