Hi everyone, while summer sizzled, so did our students for ABC English for Adults. They came diligently and no amount of heat wave stopped them from attending. The two month course, which started July 8th and ended August 30th, was off to a good start. Initially, there were a total of about 25 students for the morning and afternoon session. However, we think the heat wave got to most of them until only a core of five students remained. Hooray for the Sandoval siblings, Leticia 20, Jose 18, Carolina 15 and Luis 13 and Irene Hernandez. (see photos) They all received a certificate of completion, a bag of goodies and some cake and punch to celebrate their achievement.

These students are now attending level one of ESL class and are doing very well!

Family Learning Center subscribes to the idea of all work and no play …. So on every second Tuesday of the month we play BINGO for ESL students. This is no ordinary bingo game. The bingo cards are words instead of numbers. The students are asked to repeat the words called, and then cover that word until they have a horizontal, vertical or diagonal bingo. Winner receives a prize. This activity reinforces speaking, listening and reading skill areas. This is one game with a good purpose!

Stay tuned for more ….
