English Winter Camp – Week 2

Week 2 of the English camp went by pretty quickly.

Monday:
I did 3D snowflakes with the students. They really enjoyed it but it was a learning process for them because they were surprised about how easy it was but took a lot of effort. We also made shrimp curry! They were truly impressed about how tasty it was and how easy it was to make. I made a PowerPoint for them to show before we actually made the curry. Of course new week so they had a new vocabulary theme. This week it was all about birds.

Tuesday:
We started the day off with a picture game. Basically pictionary. We also did a dance competition. They had to dance to a K-Pop or an English song for 1 minute in partners or solo. They were really good considering they only had 30 minutes to practice. Stickers were awarded to the best group and even a small prize too. After that we had snacks and watched the Little Mermaid 2. I knew they were tired after all that dancing.

Wednesday:
The students learned what cryptograms are and then worked on three of them. They really liked it a lot and they wanted to keep going. I only made three so I promised that next Wednesday I would make more for them. We also learned about how to skate, vocabulary words for skating and even a dialogue. There were plenty of writing work today.

Thursday:
We went skating! This was my first time skating in almost 12 years! Surprisingly, I was doing okay. I did not fall once! I caught myself many times when I was about to go off balance. We rented skates for 7,000 won per person (less than $7) and we skated for 2 hours. We could have kept going if we wanted to but the students were really tired. I showed them how to skate, made sure they didn't fall and I kept encouraging them to keep trying even if they are falling. After skating we had McDonald's. Not the best of Overall, it was a fun day.

Friday:
It was poetry day, today. We did "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" reading race, we made 3D greetings card and played a game called "Where is Ruban Teacher?" The game was a success. The 3D greetings card was a bit difficult so we had to do it two times.

Overall, week 2 went by so quick and I am looking forward to my Daegu Saturday adventure!
