Limena olympics

Today is the last day of the first week of camp. As a reward system we give them ACLE dollars. Each student averaged about 15 dollars per person. At the end of the week, today, we had a carnival. Let me back up, we have a carnival and a show that we perform for the parents. We have a bunch of prop guns for our different shows that we perform today. So during the carnival, my class started charging ACLE dollars to enter the classroom as they guarded the door with their propped guns pretending to drug traffic between the groups. My desks in the class were all flipped upside down as they hid behind them. Although there were organized games of bowling, bottle cap toss, Blackjack, and face painting. My fellow tutor, Robbie, started playing Blackjack with me and some students. Soon, a student, a Junior invitee that is allowed to hang out with the older kids, wearing a flag wrapped around his neck, found Robbie's money and with the guns stole the money. Luckily, Robbie and I got the money in time. Whew.

Picture this...two brothers about a year apart, who I call the anti-social brothers because they only talk to each other and sit on a bench that is too tall for them and rickety are now painted with yellow faces and are acting like lions. I'm tempted to paint my face yellow to try and interact with them.

Update: As I was writing the previous sentience, Break through...we talked to them and they have one younger brother. That was exciting.

Our shows were all done really well. Sherlock Holmes was a big hit and the kids pulled it off well. Even the tutors had their pictures taken. I had been warned that when going to small towns we would be the celebrities of that town. I totally got that today. Everyone around town knows who we are. I don't think it helps that we have bright red shirts that say "English Camp tutor" on them and don't bring extra clothes to change into after work cause we are so gross we want to shower first so we stand out. Now that our first week is over, I am in bed relaxing and updating this blog and any emails I need to. I hope you are all well, whoever my readers are.
