This is one of my favorite units in somos. This is the unit where I see real growth in language acquisition start to happen. Students begin to feel really confident as their comprehension grows with this unit! ¡Gracias!

Not only has SOMOS curriculum proven to maintain my kiddos engaged, but their ACQUISITION has gone through the roof in comparison to my old ways. Love them!

Another great unit from SOMOS! My students enjoyed learning about the canals. I also love that these units come with some sort of assessment. Makes my job a lot easier!

I love using the traditional SOMOS plans and this one is no exception. This unit offers great stories to teach the Core vocabulary and the cultural element. These plans have clear instructions and provide rich content for language learners.
