Busan Balderdash: Winter Camp at Dalbuk Elementary School ~ Success!!!

I went to teach my two weeks of winter English camp at another school with no small amount of trepidation, but I ended up having so much fun. The students at Dalbuk Elementary school were welcoming, sweet, and energetic. They seemed to genuinely enjoy all the activities I had planned, and listened to directions so well.

We did an upgraded and improved version of Around the World Camp, and watched the movie Paddington on the last day. I taught at Amy's school, and the two of us spent out bus rides to school and lunch hours laughing uproariously at lame jokes.

The two co-teachers at the school were kind and cooperative, and the principal was very welcoming as well. I had a great time teaching camp there, and was touched when my third-grader girls asked me to stay at their school instead of going back to Suan.

Camp is different from regular classes I guess. There's no dry textbook work and rote repetition of new vocabulary. All the lessons for camp are condensed into fun activities, which no doubt presented the illusion of me as some sort of carefree, fun-loving teacher.

Yea, I'm not.

I believe in having fun and spontaneity in carefully measured doses at precise time intervals.

Nonetheless, they were wonderful, and if I ever get outsourced at another school again, I would rather it be at Dalbuk Elementary School.
