Curriculum Map for Spanish levels 1-4

I teach with both CI and grammar because I think it's the best way to help all my students grow in the language. Some students love the stories and the interaction. Other students love learning about grammar and the quiet time of working on sentences. I don’t feel there is one right way to teach a languague; just the way that is best for your students and their environment.
