Brainstorming

Here I sit at my little desk in the school’s office. I would do it at home but this is where I must be in order to get Internet access. And I’m trying to think of things to teach junior high kids. It is noon on Friday and the camp starts Monday morning. I was told to think of things in four categories: computer, culture, sports, and science. I’m having the hardest time with the last one. I’m not a science teacher?! I’m a tad bit stressed since the kids will be my responsibility for 4 hours each day for 5 days. Oh and I need to send my schedule and list of materials over to the school, today.

I do have a backup plan: teach them American games. :) I’m guessing they would enjoy that. I think I have quite a bit that I could teach them. The problem is all the unknowns. I have no idea what the students are like or what the facilities are like. Talk about jumping right in! I’m sure things will work out fine. Just thought I’d let everyone know I may be brave, but I have plenty of things I’m struggling with and learning.

3 good things about my current situation: 1) I have my iPod and good music and 2) I have a fan blowing directly on me and 3) I just ate a Milky Way candy bar I brought from the States. Yum

I was just given even more information. These students just barely graduated from primary school. They are new to the junior high. So they are kids! Oh me, oh my. I've not had practice working with such young'uns. Check back to see what happens!!
