"We have been reselling the Sonrisas curriculum for almost 7 years. As an independent reseller, I can honestly say that I recommend the Sonrisas curriculum and the new cultural curriculum to any Spanish kindergarten and lower elementary program. We believe in it so much, we stock all of the supplemental readers recommended in each lesson!"

Sonrisas Spanish School Cultural Curriculum
Children do not learn about culture by simply watching a video. Children learn cultural awareness by engaging the imagination through all the senses. The Sonrisas Cultural Curriculum does just that. Your students will see the colors, hear the music, smell and taste the foods, and touch the products of the Spanish-speaking cultures they study.
Sonrisas Spanish School: An Elementary Spanish Cultural Curriculum includes nine lessons. Students take imaginary trips to Spanish-speaking countries—learning and practicing their Spanish while they explore each country's culture and geography and celebrate various holidays and customs. That's the fundamentals.
