Hola, amigos! ¡Empecemos! is back for a brand-new adventure!
Join Ms. Angela as we explore a new group of Spanish-speaking countries through language, stories, music, movement, art, food, folklore and hands-on play.
This session, each child will receive their own ¡Empecemos! passport, collecting a new stamp as we “travel” from country to country. Along the way, children will hear stories connected to each place and discover age-appropriate Spanish words and phrases naturally through play, repetition and cultural experiences.
Our new journey takes us to Spain, Panama, Colombia, Peru and Cuba, with stories including El Cuento de Ferdinando, the Panamanian folktale Conejito, Esperando el Biblioburro from Colombia, María Tenía una Llamita from Peru, and Zunzuncito: Un Cuento del Pájaro Abeja Cubano as we explore Cuba.
Just like our first adventure, ¡Empecemos! isn't about worksheets or memorizing vocabulary lists. It's about giving young children an opportunity to experience Spanish in context while discovering the stories, traditions and cultures of the Spanish-speaking world.
And at the end of our travels, we’ll come together for ¡Celebramos Nuestro Viaje! (Let’s Celebrate Our Journey!) — a special final celebration bringing together the places, stories, language and cultures we’ve explored throughout the session.
New to ¡Empecemos!? You can start right here. Round 2 is a completely new adventure, and participation in our first session is not required. No previous Spanish experience is necessary either.
Bring your curiosity, grab your passport and get ready to explore.
¡Empecemos!
Meet Miss Angela
Hi, my name is Angela. I was born to two immigrants from Central America and am now trying to raise my own little bambino. From a young age, my family has instilled in me that language and communication is very important. Now as a mother it matters a lot to me that he feels in touch with his roots and can eventually speak English, Spanish and Italian. I went to Northampton Community College and majored in child psychology. Something interesting about me is that I'm not 5' tall, or 4'11" but I am actually 4'10" (and 3/4). Despite my stature, I am a lot stronger than I look and am pleased to meet you
