The Vamos Curriculum™ is a proficiency-oriented curriculum designed for Exploratory Spanish courses. As an Exploratory curriculum, Vamos has three primary objectives:

VAMOS UNIT 3: PAPAS

Unit 3 of The Vamos Curriculum assumes that students are in the early days of their Spanish learning journeys and have already completed Unit 1 and Unit 2 of the Vamos Curriculum. Each day is filled with communicative, target language activities that build connections within the classroom and between the classroom and the outside world. 

• Core Verbs: hay
• Recycled vocabulary: tiene, son, prefiere, le gusta, ¿Qué es esto?, niños
• Featured Country: Perú
• Cultural Focus: Perú's biodiversity

Throughout the course of this unit students will learn about the geography of Perú, communicate about descriptions of people and things, create their own characters, play games, communicate about the date, and learn facts about Perú's biodiversity and geography: all in the target language!

Content is scaffolded to build confidence in students as they get their first taste of a language class!
