I love this unit. It's the first time we create a story in class and my kids are usually super excited to give me funny ideas and names. It's amazing how much they can retell the story after so little exposure to Spanish.

After trying the free version of the 1st unit. I had to get the second unit and continue on. My students love the units and i love the layouts myself. I love how they are each time and I ca watch myself and change them if need be. I will definitely continue using these in my department as we do not have actual textbooks.

SOMOS does not disappoint! It is so nice as a teacher to have a resource where I have minimal prep. This unit was engaging, students were acquiring language comprehensively, and were having fun too! Everything is well done with this unit and it is culturally rich! Highly recommend this unit!

I recently decided to try the Somos curriculum and have been so happy with how my students are reacting. It is taking some time for them to adjust because it's so different than what they have done before but the results have been fantastic so far!
The Engaged Spanish Student -
Such a fun unit for Spanish 1 students focusing on these high-frequency vocabulary terms: camina, corre, and ve. Awesome bell ringers included. Used before it was revamped and its EVEN better now! You will not regret using these units with your students. Ditch the textbook and purchase this!
