At Camp!!

Like I said before, we are at a legit summer camp.  We are in the middle of the woods, quite near the spot where the first shots were fired between the Germans and the Poles in 1939.  We live in a large chalet like building, and the students are in another dormitory type building.  Our classes are in a building near our dorms.

We met the students today, and interviewed them so that we would have a sense as to where they fit on the "ability" spectrum.  We are going to try and filter them out equally, not homogenous groups.  Which, for the English Conversation classes (which I'm teaching) is probably not the best, but we'll make it work.

We had to ask the students questions about a picture and we threw in a few extra things to see if we could get some spontaneous reaction.  It was very interesting to see how they reacted to us, and to the questions.  I am excited for our new adventure, and you'll be hearing all about it!

This is the courtyard of one of the classroom buildings!!

This is the bag lunch they gave us for the bus - notice two sandwiches, the banana, two small apricots, a muffin and a large Kit Kat bar.
