After coming home from many days of vacation, I had to teach an English winter camp for three days at my school. I had about thirty wonderful students for four hours each day. My class was so much better than my regular classes because all of the students wanted to be there, and almost all of them had above average English skills. I barely had to repeat anything or have my co-teacher translate anything...it was heaven. I planned the schedule and material of the camp and decided to follow a winter theme for it. One day we learned about winter activities and winter clothing/body parts. Another day we learned about Hannukah and Kwanzaa (both of which none of my students or co-teachers had heard of). The final day we learned about American New Year's traditions and about writing resolutions. My favorite parts of the camp were watching Snow Day in English while drinking hot chocolate with my students (there were no subtitles but my students loved the movie anyway) and playing my Jeopardy game on the last day. Here are some pictures from the camp...
