Summer Camp

There school year ends at the end of March and then they have summer break or they have the choice to come to summer school (summer camp) to learn more english. We have about 16 pre-k students and about 32 kindergarten-first grade students. We have a total of five rotations that are from 8:30-12:00.

First we line them up and sit them down on our L shape table. "Who's being good?" They are crossing there arms and then they get to sit down.

My first two rotations I teach pre-k students, my first rotation are the younger pre-k students. One of them is one and a half years old and the others are about two years old.

My second pre-k rotation, most of them are two-three years old and they have been learning english longer then the first rotation. Part of my second rotation students are in the picture below.

This is Kaow-Poon he is in my second rotation, he is two and half years old. He loves school, the teachers, and other students. He knows a lot of English, he is also the class clown in that class.

This is Eak-Eak he is in the second rotation too, he is two years old. He is the quiet one in that class, but he is also learning english quickly. He is very shy just like his sister Aom-Aom in a K-1 class.

This is Deva he is in the second rotation (most of the pictures I have of the pre-k students are in the second rotation). The Thai teachers say he is shy, but to me he is not. He always acts like he is the teacher or he acts like he is asleep sometimes to make everyone laugh. During break time he always hangs out by me to do flips or to take my phone and take pictures. He is so cute and funny!

Break time: I have the older pre-k class for break. Break time is fifteen minutes long. They love going in the corner to hang out.

They also run around everywhere, its good then they get rid of there energy during break. So then they don't run around during class time. 

Every student during break gets to drink there milk too. This is Tatar, she is four years old and is in K-1.

More of pre-k, except the first girl on the left side. She is supposed to be in K-2, but she just joined us for summer camp and is in the younger class for now to get started on english. She is improving so much though, and she only started learning a month ago.

Can you tell I love this class yet? Plus, I have them during break so I can take more pictures.

This is the K-1 class, in the picture is Jinpao, Lina, and Tipco. That day we were playing a game from  minute to win it. It was the game where you put an oreo on your forehead and you use your face muscles to move the oreo to your mouth. Except we used a coin and found out some of the kids were so sweaty because they don't use air conditioning that the gold coin was just sticking to there face. Some of the kids understood the no hands part, but some students didn't.

Summer camp is different from regular school because they don't wear outfits and we don't teach in the afternoon. Im glad a lot of the same students came back to summer camp though so we could see a lot of them again.
