HOLA LA IS EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE CONTINUATION OF OUR NEW CURRICULUM FOR THE 2012-13 ACADEMIC YEAR,
¡La mesa familiar/The Family Table!
Spring 2013: La Cena con Pepa y Pepe/ Dinner with Pepa and Pepe
In Hola La's spring session, we will conclude our "La mesa familiar" (The Family Table) curriculum. This spring, los hermanos (the siblings) will eat "la cena" (dinner) with their family and then will play (or read stories) under the "estrellas". Children will have fun continuing to learn about food-related vocabulary as well as vocabulary and songs related to "nighttime".
Through Hola La's signature humor, catchy chants and engaging games and stories, children will learn dinner and mealtime vocabulary and phrases, native foods of Puerto Rico, and get to know Pepa's family and new surroundings.*
School programs through 8th grade will engage through literacy and appropriately-mapped curriculum by grade level.*
*All Hola La curriculum incorporates colors, numbers, calendar, weather, greetings and other everyday modules as appropriate by age, length and
frequency of programming.

Summer 2013: Pepa y Pepe van a Puerto Rico/ Pepa and Pepe Go to Puerto Rico
In Hola La's summer session, Pepa and her brother Pepe will return to Puerto Rico for their summer vacation. Although they love living on the east coast, they miss the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where they come from! Children will accompany Pepa and Pepe to the beach and will play with some of their favorite sea creature friends - the fish, the shark, the octopus, and the turtle. In addition to vocabulary focused around Pepa and Pepe and their trip to Puerto Rico, children will be learning practical "summer" and everyday language that can be easily reinforced at home!
