Hey! Apologies about the month between posts. Let's get back in action with some pics from summer camps. Summer camp are a couple of weeks, and mine started on Monday. It's called 'Hollywood Week!' and it's most based around movies. So, for example, we'll practice ordering food at a fake concession stand, we talked about clothes by using superhero costumes as examples, and so on.
It's very different from normal classes because there's half as many kids, but it mostly feels like twice as much work because I have students from 3rd, 4th, 5th, AND 6th grades who are all at various levels. Thus breaking them up into groups and making sure they understand directions varies greatly between every student and requires a bit more energy.
But good news is that the camp ends at noon! So I get a couple hours of general prep and free air conditioning every day!
Above are the students practicing their 'trailers'. We watched a few trailers and they rated them with stars. Then I had a few
greatly abridged versions of the trailers for Shrek and Kung Fu Panda typed up and here are the students practicing before they filmed themselves (on their own smartphones haha).
Below is a few exerpts from their journals. "Hot because is Earthot" is so factual, it's scorching outside!
Lastly below was the final activity for the day: a scavenger hunt to end on a fun note! Also, they instead of having to watch them complete all the challenges they can just take a picture of the missions on their phones...While I relax.... : )
