Today was our second to last day of English Camp. We started off with a breakfast trip to Dunkin Donuts, and then started getting ready for class. The story the children learned about today was about Jesus’ birth, and they made cross necklaces in crafts. The morning went smoothly and lunch was Bibim bap a sort of rice casserole with vegetables. Afterwards the cooks brought out bread, butter, and strawberry jam for the Americans, but it seemed that snack was way more popular with the younger children.
Next was more English and Bible lessons and music. We had somewhat of a chaotic closing which calmed down when Brooke said the prayer, we had relay races on the rooftop turf followed by a huge water fight. Lucy, Hee, and Alice were dumped into the small blowup pool right away and then we were soaked by water balloons and guns. Everyone was pushed into the pool at some point. And the children all learned teamwork when they wanted to go dump a heavy bucket of water on someone.
An hour later, exhausted, we ate some gim bap and hard boiled eggs, did laundry, and are currently playing cards (a game taught to us by Caleb called 99).

Our class is definitely getting used to our weird quirks. Yesterday, when Nate and I started singing “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to them, they just kind of stared at us in silence. Now they either grin and clap, or happily ignore us. We tried teaching it to them so they could sing with us, but that particular vocabulary word still seems a little out of their range. Maybe tomorrow they will join us. J
We talked about the birth of Jesus today. They seemed to know the story – some of the girls even waved their arms like wings when we talked about the angels coming to the shepherds. We also finished memorizing John 3:16, a verse we’ve been working on all week. We also made cross necklaces in crafts with Carol. The kids loved them and wore them all day.
I can’t believe tomorrow is our last day to teach already! Hopefully, it will be a good one.
