English Camp pictures

 With a bunch of the students! We taught grades 4-6, ages 9-12. The kids couldn't have been sweeter.

 

The impromptu dance party the 2nd day of camp was a wonderful surprise. The kids got up from lunch and just began pulling us up from our seats, telling us do dance.  There must have been 70 + people on the 'dance floor'.

Afterwards, we had some performances. Our kids did the Hokey Pokey and they thoroughly enjoyed it from what we could tell. We were also taught how to make baskets and given little gifts from all the children.

These are some of our Thai teachers from the last week of Orientation. My 'thai buddy' is the one on the right! She lives in Khon Kaen, about 5 hours away and we are going to go visit her in a few weeks. A couple of the teachers live down there and there is an elephant festival (or something). I think we're gonna try out the local bus system. 

The pre-k English camp put on a show for us before everything began on the first day. They were adorable but had no idea what to do on stage!

A traditional Isaan soup we were served for lunch - see those dark spots? Those are ants. I didn't try it...but others did and said they couldn't taste anything different. I just couldn't eat it with ants floating around...
