October Events~
Hope you all are having a good first couple weeks of the quarter! This month will have a fun field trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Two weeks from now on the 22nd of October we will go look at all the pumpkins on display! Traditionally people buy pumpkins and carve funny or scary faces on them. The pumpkins are hollowed out and a candle is placed inside so it would glow orange at night. These are called Jack-O-Lanterns.
Another Halloween custom regarding pumpkins is cooking the seeds in different seasonings, sweet or savory, then munching on them as a snack. Oven-bake them or saute them in a frying pan and they will make a delicious bite to eat. It makes a good appetizer for any Halloween party and you can look up many recipes online!
Friday the 29th of October AOI College of Languages is throwing a Faculty and Student Halloween Party!! The staff will be dressed up in Halloween Costumes! You don’t want to miss it! Find a funky costume and come party at AOI with your teachers and friends.
Sincerely,
Sara

Summer Photos!
ISS students had a blast this summer during our Summer Junior Program at AOI College of Languages.
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~

Sara
