Literacy and Crafts

Students discover Spanish through the magic of storytelling and art. Each week, children read a new book and create an art project inspired by the story, strengthening vocabulary, comprehension, and creativity along the way. This is the perfect blend of PRAA's Mini Makers and Literacy and Crafts course for two weeks of summer. Class material will be provided by PRAA. Each participant will need to bring their own lunch.
