Hitomi and Marina want to find out:
What do San Mateo Adult School students want for Adult Education in the future?
Hitomi and Marina worked with other students to make a list of questions.
Next Tuesday, October 29th, Hitomi and Marina will visit ESL classes in the morning to ask students
these questions and get their opinions.
Tim Doyle, Assistant Director at San Mateo Adult School, is going to ask evening ESL students what they want, also.
EVERY STUDENT at San Mateo Adult School is welcome to answer these questions and give their opinion.
You can write down your answers or your ideas and give them to Marina, Hitomi, Tim, myself (Cynthia), or any teacher.
I can make an online survey on Survey Monkey if you think that is helpful. Leave a comment here about that if you want an online survey.
On Wednesday, Hitomi and Marina will go to the Townhall.
They will bring your opinions. What are you opinions? What do you want?
