Students at Fonda Fultonville Central School begin taking Spanish in 7th grade.  They cover a variety of topics including geography and where the Spanish speaking countries are located.  Then they continue on to master: greetings, hobbies, school supplies, classes, telling time, seasons, sports, food, family, describing themselves/others, clothing and colors. 

In 8th grade, the students continue with vacationing, weather, the house, chores, furniture, the city, buildings, transportation, giving and receiving directions, movies, television shows, food, restaurants, animals and the environment.    

A focus on listening, reading, writing and speaking (the NYS Learning Standards for foreign language) is practiced through both years.   Also, culture and the life of Latin Americans are discussed.   

Students take the NYS Spanish Proficiency Exam at the end of 8th grade and may continue in high school upon passing and earning one credit.
