This summer I decided I would use my experience as a school psychologist and my expertise with the Spanish language to develop a curriculum for a Spanish Immersion Summer Camp in Palo Alto. I called it Somos Amigos.I enrolled a couple of Spanish speaking friends as teachers, trained them, developed the curriculum, created and put up the website, conditioned the space, bought tons of materials, designed a flier and distributed hundreds of copies of it everywhere. It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun.
Parents were very pleased and the kids had a great time and learned a lot. I received many requests to continue offering the class during the school year. As much as I enjoyed it, however, I think I'll save the materials to teach Spanish to my baby girl and go back to a full time job in which I can interact with other adults :)
