Two weeks of English camp are over now.
I taught 2nd and 3rd grade, two hours each, for one week, and then 4th and 5th grade, two hours each, for one week.
It has been a really nice experience, because unlike the regular school year, I did not teach from a textbook but was able to come up with my own games and activities. I enjoyed that a lot. I also enjoyed having smaller classes and getting to know my students on a more personal level.

| Last day of camp we had a food party where the kids were allowed to make snacks for themselves |
Highlights from English Camp:
 |
| Duck Duck Goose, very popular with 2nd and 3rd |
- Being physically pushed, pulled and urged by a second grader to join in the game of Duck, Duck, Goose. It felt nice to be wanted.
- Receiving a handwritten note thanking my co-teacher and me for our work.
- Introducing 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade to a game my German family plays. (I translated it into English of course).
- Learning the Pitch Perfect cups song with 4th and 5th grade, and seeing the kids practice the song during break time. (meaning they actually enjoyed the activity enough to continue past class hours)
 |
| 2nd grade boys. They were so sweet...why do they have to grow up? |
- Being told by two 4th graders (지은 and 회진) that I was the reason they signed up for English camp in the first place.
 |
| One of the 2nd grade girls wrote a note to my co teacher and me, thanking us for the camp. |
 |
| The two boys with the scarfs are twins, and my co teacher and I only found out the last day! |

| The boy kept sneaking into all the pictures. |
