According to Mrs. Armstead, “School 9 is committed to meeting the academic and social needs of English Language Learners through rigorous English classes, focusing on a different theme each year. This year the Summer Enrichment Program will focus on the study of the “weather” to supplement English Language Acquisition. Students will engage in contentrich, fun group authentic activities and learning centers to improve their reading, listening, speaking and writing skills. By the end of the program, ESL students will have successfully completed their summer readings and projects.”
