How do we generate excitement and expose our students to the foreign language?

Our lessons include a number of activities including songs, videos, drawing pictures, games, etc. Some teachers also label items in the classrooms with the appropriate language. You can view what we do in German class by using the navigation bar above.

Students learn:

• Greetings
• Other vocabulary including topics like family, numbers, food, colors, clothing and more.
• Cultural norms including holiday celebrations, politeness, procedures etc.
• Folk tales from the target culture
• and much more

Meet Herr Rohde (non-german speaker)

Hallo! Guten Tag! Servus! Ich bin der Deutschlehrer der 3. Klasse des FLEX Programms.

 I am the 3rd Grade German teacher and I am very excited to to work with our students this year. With an MA from the University of Kentucky in German Studies, I have broad knowledge and interest in all things German and cannot wait to kindle curiosity about other languages and cultures in our students. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have about me or the program.
