English as a second language students tend to lose their English skills over the summer. As a result, when ESL students begin the new school year they tend to lag behind their peers. Summer Enrichment for ESL students is a great way to get the English language learner ready for the beginning of the school year.
The Rockaway Borough School district offers ESL Summer Enrichment to all ESL students
free of charge. The program meets everyday for four weeks, and the students may elect to come for as many weeks as they wish. Students are divided into grade levels and each group meets for about one and a half to two hours daily. Students experience a wide variety of activites in summer enrichment class. These would include arts and crafts, games, computer activities, internet projects, collaborative projects, theme based activities, cooking, reading, writing, and math activites. All of these activities are geared toward getting the ESL student ready for the start of the school year.
