Language Exchange Program Begins

Hi all, Our first language exchange class of the season will be this Tues. Oct. 13th starting at 3:30- 4:00. (you can come early or leave late if you need to.) We will be meeting in room 105 of the high school. (the old home economics room.) We will be meeting on Tuesdays and on Fridays. It will be informal as it was last year, but we have some additional software that should be very useful to us. You can download a free version of this at http://www.byki.com . Some of you have told me that you like having flash cards along with the more intuitive programs we have used so far. This is it! It will make virtual as well as print out actual flash cards. We will have a copy of the deluxe version which will allow us to input any words or phrases we would like. You can put pictures, audio, or even video on these! It is also useful for anything a student might need to memorize. History dates, geometry theorems, civics facts, etc. etc. It could be used to drill kids on their multiplication tables, and their spelling words. It's a really great tool for memorizing all kinds of facts. This year we will be pairing a Spanish student with each English student so you can help each other learn. Jenny, will still be there on Friday to help with pronunciation and grammar, but each student will also have a student tutor that will be a native speaker of the language he/she is learning. To do this, we will need more English students! Please help us out in finding the people who wish to have help learning English. For more information, call Jackie or Jenny at 983-3734 (Jenny speaks fluent Spanish) I hope to see you on Tuesday! Jackie Morris
