Well according to mike i need to update more which might be hard considering all my spare time goes into lesson plans and classroom prep but i promise i will try, i didnt think that you would want a day by day,....its going to get repetative. Today we did a Hollywood theme which was excellent we did skits, i was an actor who couldnt act properly took the wrong directions from the director etc....played a ga;e in class...we all acted out emotions!!! Really fun day, long though we let the kids do their own skits and there are almost 3 hours of prep on the time thats supposed to be my time off so the day is super long and then we perform and the counselors do interludes to make sure the kids have enough time to change so those were fun, and then after we have a dance which they call a BOOM in France and can i tell you it was the most fun ive had in a while dancing lol!!! Our kids absolutly lovd it they went nuts, some songs were french some were English some Canadian wooot!!! And it was supposed to end at 10:30 and it went til 12 because they were having an amazing time and now its english prep, tomorrow we do graduation caps in class and review as it is their last day!!! One of our counselors is leaving tomorrow before the kids do and so they all said goodnight to her tonight...and well they cried it was adorable...but apparently groups of kids like this are so rare that it probably wont happen again hahaa....they were really amazing!!!
The Boom was great and i get to do it all again next week wooot, but at Awe in q chateau which i have seen pictures of and crap its a history students dream i tell you....i; not looking forzqrd to the 10 hour train ride but at least 2 other girls are coming with me!!
Tomorrow we get to sleep in hence why im up so late postsing, it is 1:30 now but my roommate has a manual alarm that makes a ticking noise annnd it pretty much kept me up all last night because i wasnt tired enough so im making myself tired hahaa, plus i have to make a copy of everyting i taught to give to the camp annnnd i didnt know that before so im putting things together now!!
Yesterday was wild west day and that was great too, i had my cowboy hat I taught the cheer with another counsellor at Congress( the kids all meet in congress after english and we go over shedule of the day and do a skit based on the theme and a cheer and a popular song..wild west day was Boulavard of Broken Dreams, Discovery America day was California and today was We are the champions) and our evening activity was a carnival which was great we all had a station i did water ping pong.....PS my camp name is Aqua...i love water, i miss the pool...kinda....so aqua fit....you shoudl hear how the kids say it though with the french accents!
Its funny they all get american names....one is justin timberlake....and in the summer they come and pick...the kids now pick them at the begining of the school year and are called that name in english all yyear....so in the summer we could have pickle...or something totaly random Tom Cruse or wathever its hysterical.
On discover America day we had a campfire and made smores...which was great except coming from a family and a country where campfire is pretty standard its actually hard to get them to understand the whole thing. The smore making was dangerous lol we had to actually teach them how to make them.....and so many caught fire and instead of blowing.....they would fling them around, they had no concept of the stick size and the would just walk around flayling it around. And then we sang camp songs and heard a story and it was extremely bizarr for me to be having a camp fire in the mountains with snow....random...and i was the stick allocator....if i didnt have glasses i would be blind now....
Best thing so far is the language and how the kids say words, the most important thing that they get wrong is; in a and not pronouncing the s at the end of words, so they basically dont pluralize anything. They come out with some pretty great interpretations of words let me tell you....they say Ear,...like Air they say Aqua like AqWAHHHHH, but they are fantastic!!
Okay mike i hope this is long enough, thank you everyone for your comments im sorry if i dont mail you back individually its hard to get on the computer when im not falling asleep and typing hurts my brain...i either have to put it on french and look at the keyboard all the time or put it to english and not look at all....thats why there are massive spelling mistakes....GRAG
NIGHT!!!
