I am very excited to begin enjoying English with the kids of our community and help each of them to become a Superstar with word power.
This year we are going to focus on building a vocabulary and conversational base for understanding the English language. Everything is new and fun when you do it in a new language. We will be cooking, shopping, playing, singing, chatting, eating and coloring our way into being bilingual.
The best way to learn a new language and build vocabulary is to use real world activities and let the words take shape and make connections in the brain, without boring memorization. We are starting with these special kids, because you already know and value the fact that it is easier to learn a new language the younger you are. So let the fun begin.
Just a reminder of times and dates for each group.

Each week I will add enrichment options right here for you on this blog. This is for kids and parents who are enjoying the process and want to integrate English more during the week to build on the time we spend in the club.
A few important notes
1. I will speak almost exclusively in English during the club meetings
2. All messages will be here each week, so check in.
3. I will provide a small snack at each club meeting. Food words are great fun and it gives us a chance to practice conversational skills. It also helps the children to transition from school to fun cub time.
4. Each section make take 2-3 weeks to review, Every child is different, be patient.
5. Please give permission for me to video the kids singing the songs they learn for you.
