English as a Second Language Classes

Overview

Time:

Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.

Cost:

$15.00 per class

Students will learn English and American culture: With every activity, we will follow with a vocabulary lesson and practice conversation about the experience. In the spring, we go on a hike, name the spring flowers, make Valentine cards and heart shaped cookies. In summer we picnic in the Peony Garden, pick strawberries and make a strawberry dessert, and visit the art fair. In fall we visit Plymouth Orchard and compare/contrast different MI apples, collect/analyze fall leaves, and carve pumpkins for Halloween. In winter we sing favorite American Christmas songs; watch popular Christmas movies, listen to the famous “I HAVE A DREAM” speech for Martin Luther King Day, and visit the Toledo Museum of Art.
