Our First Summer Event

I've been wanting to write this up for a few days but I got hit by the same bug as the kids!  Not nice at all!
Last Monday, July 28th we held a summer event for 1st to 4th grade kids.  One other lady who teaches near here wanted to do an event with other teachers.  It really helped to work together with others, especially I had to leave after the first hour, Christopher was still sick!
The day started at 10am, first off with games, using verbs for run, jump, walk etc.  We hired the local community center, they have a big room with air conditioners!  The kids then learnt colors, listened to a story and did a craft.  All the time trying to use English.  After an obento lunch there was singing in English, the kids learnt the chorus to "Let it Go" in English.  They then made dessert and had a magic show from Mikey.  the kids really enjoyed that.  The last hour was a chance to write their picture diary, it's part of the summer homework!  From the photos I saw it looked like a good time was had by all.  Mikey worked really hard to make this work, Hannah stayed and helped out as well!
Here are some photos from the day.

We had about 10 kids altogether.  For a first time it was quite good. we learnt a few things and will be doing something for the winter holiday as well!
