In this course, we will be learning about summer activities such as: Going to the beach flying a kite building a sandcastle eating ice cream camping going on a picnic swimming hiking boating fishing, etc. We will be using the phrases: "I like to ....." "I don't like to ...." "I will ...." "I will not ...." "I have ....." "I haven't ...." "I hope to ...." To describe our summer activities this year. Each student will be given the opportunity to participate actively in the games and discussions. Homework activities will be given at the end of each class for students to continue practicing at home. Homework activities will not be graded or required to be completed, but I may ask students who have completed the assignments to share their completed work with the class if they are comfortable doing so.
