SUMMARY:ESL Conversation Class - Student Led ~ 1st & 3rd Tuesdays
DESCRIPTION:This is a student-led ESL conversation class.  Students meet every other week to plan the class and class strategies.  Students themselves give presentations and mini-presentations about their country of origin\, first year in the United States\, or anything else of interest to them.  Idioms are discussed.  We also read the newspaper News for You for practice in pronunciation.  We break down into smaller groups to have discussions.  It is a very social time for students to get to know one another and make friendships. \nThe class will meet every first and third Tuesday of the month from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. from September 17 through December 3.  Sometimes students bring in food to share\, but you are allowed to eat in the classroom\, so we suggest that you bring a lunch or snack.  Other times\, we go on field trips especially in the summer. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Holiday Book Drive 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Literacy Council of Frederick County is again partnering with Curious Iguana for our Annual Holiday Book Drive to provide new books for elementary school aged children (PreK through 5th grade). \nWhile the Literacy Council serves adult literacy needs\, providing appealing\, age-appropriate books to children fosters literacy at a young age and helps to break the cycle of low literacy in families.  The books will be given to parents of children in elementary school who are participating in the Literacy Council’s tutoring or class instruction programs. The Literacy Council recently began working directly with the Judy Center and Lincoln\, Hillcrest and Waverley Elementary Schools to provide tutoring at the schools for parents whose children attend these schools\, and many of our other students also have young children with whom to share the books. \nSuggestions for younger grades include: board books\, picture books (fiction and nonfiction)\, early chapter books; and for older grades: mid-grade chapter books\, paperback series\, graphic novels\, and STEM titles. \nTo participate in the Holiday Book Drive\, you may purchase and donate books between November 15 and December 13 at Curious Iguana in downtown Frederick (12 N. Market St.).  Or you may simply purchase a book and drop it off at the Literacy Council’s office at 110 E. Patrick St. no later than December 13. \nDonors often like to share a childhood favorite or just encourage the habit of reading in a child. We request no religious holiday themed books so that we are not limited in distributing them. \nDownload a flyer to share here. \nThe Holiday Book Drive\, now in its 13th year\, has provided books for several local agencies including Head Start\, the YMCA’s Early Learning Center\, Toys for Tots\, Advocates for Homeless Families\, Children of Incarcerated Parents (COIP)\, and Blessings in a Backpack.
