If you want to learn more English, the group will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school day from 2:45 - 3:45pm from now through December 15.  These groups will focus on speaking English and will help you to:

- Help your child with homework

- Talk with your child's teacher

- Understand your doctor

- Talk with people in stores

- Understand banks

- Meet others who are learning English

This group welcomes English speakers, Spanish speakers, and speakers of other languages.  

Thank you to our partners at Washtenaw Literacy for their collaboration and willingness to host this group in our school community.


Spanish Language Group

This group will learn and practice the friendly Spanish language that children are learning in their Spanish classes at Mitchell.  The group will play games, sing, and create materials to take home and use together--and enjoy getting to know each other while learning language! The group will meet on Tuesday evenings from 6:00pm-7:00pm on October 4, 11, 18, and 25. This group welcomes English speakers, Spanish speakers, and speakers of other languages.  Younger and older children are welcome to participate with their family members.  Bring your family to play and enjoy friendly Spanish!  Learn the world language your children are learning at school!


Thank you to our partners at the UM School of Education for facilitating this activity for the Mitchell-Scarlett Community Center.
