Dr. Stephen Krashen, an renowned linguist who specializes in language acquisition believes &#8220;in the idea that we acquire language when we\u2019re deeply listening to the message. When we\u2019re not even thinking about whether it\u2019s in another language.&#8221; In order to truly help students acquire Spanish, MS Spanish makes use of interesting stories and interactive activities from Fluency Matters. Vocabulary games and other vocabulary building activities have been added to the course to help students build their Spanish lexicon before and after reading the stories. Stories in MS Spanish include Edi el elefante and Brandon Brown dice la verdad. This class is designed so that all students, regardless of past academic performance, can learn and acquire Spanish.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-4b8320a35130bf5fa fusion-toggle-has-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_4b8320a35130bf5fa\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"4b8320a35130bf5fa\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#4b8320a35130bf5fa\" href=\"#4b8320a35130bf5fa\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">MS Music Appreciation<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"4b8320a35130bf5fa\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_4b8320a35130bf5fa\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>This music class is for students in grades 6\u20138.
