Archive for June, 2009

Though after the last camp with 30 mixed age and mixed level students per groups
I swore never to take on another summer camp, here I go again. I guess it’s
the same thing with smokers who say they’ll quit tomorrow, but that tomorrow
keeps not coming. The good thing is that this time it’s only ten of the kids,
the place is across the street from my office, and we agreed that I will not
take money but coupons to sports centre that organizes the camp. In this way
I don’t need to pay any taxes, neither do they.

Today we did numbers. The kids (aged 6-10) knew them well (except for a few smaller ones)
and it was tooe asy for them. Luckily I had flashcards with pets and classroom objects just
in case, and they knew them well too, so we played memory games. Tomorrow I’m
giving them fruit and vegetable and we might make a poster. The problem is that they are very
lively and keep running about shouting. I think that it’s their summer time and it’s no need
to fill their heads with grammar or anything. We’re going to do some work on more complex vocabulary.

I took my certificate from guide courses and now can proudly frame it on the wall.
So far no job offers re to my emails, so whenever I get a free moment this week I am
going to attack a few agencies in person with cv in hand.

Intensive courses fail to form groups for the second month in a row. I hope July is going
to be better because June is practically hungry as far as my diary goes. We have this
economic crisis plus people want to spend their summer relaxed even though they get only a month for holiday.
I hope there’ll be another summer camp coming *shiver*.
