Week 1 - Getting to Know Claremont

Karen and Michelle will be here very soon. We've had a good time today fixing up their room and attending to details around our house, hoping that the girls will be comfortable during their stay with us.

This week we will discuss, design, and begin working on a customized curriculum that will meet each girl's English language learning needs. Each day we will spend classroom time on reading and writing, with an emphasis on comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary development.

Each day we will also explore Claremont and the surrounding area, using English in context as we visit stores, walk around the Claremont Village, and see the beautiful Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. As a special treat, we will spend one day at the water park - Raging Waters, in neighboring San Dimas.

Welcome to Claremont, Michelle and Karen - and welcome to our home!
