Police Department Field Trip
Field trip to the Irvine Police Department with a tour of the building and a squad car! Students were on their best behavior that day!
I hope you buckle your seat belts!
OCC Swap Meet
From necessities to frivolous buys, you can find anything fun and cheap at the Orange Coast College Swap Meet. It is a big deal with tons of vendors selling goods for a great price. You can haggle and land an awesome bargain on clothes, household things, perfume, and other such trinkets. The Swap Meet is held on the OCC Campus in the Adams Parking lot. Bring your friends along and have a fun time shopping at the OCC Swap Meet every weekend! There are refreshments and snacks sold as well such as fresh fruits and a variety of lemonades. You’ll never run out of new things to see and buy!
Sincerely,
Sara
Summer Junior Program!
Right now over the summer many junior students have arrived to enjoy our summer program for kids. With ESL classes in the morning and Host Family arrangements the students are set to enjoy the California summer for a few weeks. Many field trips are planned in the itinerary including Disneyland, Universal Studios, the beach and shopping expeditions! I will be overseeing many of the field trips for the junior program so I will post the pictures I take~
Teacher Jeremy with students!
Every summer we arrange many fun things for kids to do while learning English as a second language. Irvine is a great environment for students of any age to come to America. We provide the accommodations and supervision needed for a safe learning experience.

Campus Relaxation

The University of California, Irvine is right next to AOI College of Languages and the benefits are obvious. UCI campus has a beautiful park and many places to sit under one of the large trees that offer a relaxing shade. Today, I went on a breezy campus tour with the junior summer students. We lightly toured the campus and rested under a huge tree in the middle of Aldrich Park. Even the children enjoyed the beauty of the University’s grand campus. After the park we went on over to the UCI Bookstore which had an abundance of books and electronics as well as stationary of different colors and designs. Any students needs, personal or educational, can be fulfilled at the UCI Bookstore with many food and drink shops nearby as well.
It is easy to take for granted the beautiful city of Irvine. It is important to remember however how lucky we are to be in such a safe yet versatile environment to learn English in. Close enough to all the fun city scenes of the nearby Los Angeles or San Diego, while still having a quiet and friendly place to study and relax with classmates. We are truly in a perfect learning environment that nurtures the hopes and dreams of every student. With this in mind, I hope you all have the time of your lives over summer vacation~
Sincerely,
Sara
Field Trip to OC Fair :D
Orange County Fair: July 16th – August 15th 2010
Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend of fireworks and fun! It’s the middle of the week and everyone should be concentrating on classes and studying, right? Well you have one more week of hard learning before this month’s field trip! Be patient, next Friday will come soon enough. 🙂
Come to the front office to sign up for the field trip to the infamous OC Fair. The earlier the better! You wouldn’t want to miss this trip, it is sure to be an exciting experience with your peers and teachers. The OC Fair has so much going on you won’t know where to start and once you’re into it, you won’t want to leave. The field trip will be on Friday the 16th of July~
I went to the OC Fair last year and enjoyed it so much, I don’t want anyone to miss out on the fun! My favorite was the Skylift which afforded me a view of the entire fair below my feet! It was exhilarating but make sure to bring a jacket if you’re going at night. Remember to sign up early if you want to go!
Sincerely,
Sara
