Anyone looking for a German-related summer job in Austin? Details below.
--
The German Texan Heritage Society downtown is looking for a German summer camp leader for their week-long German immersion camp for kids 3-6 years old. (They had an instructor, but she recently took a different gig for the same time period.) If you or anyone you know might be interested or wants any extra info (upper-level undergrad students?), please contact Brad ([email protected]).
(Note: They're also looking for Saturday school instructors for the Fall semester.)
Summer Camp Info:
Dates: July 19th - 23rd
Time: 9:30am - 2:30pm CDT
Ages: 3 to 6 years old
Location: GTHS at 507 East 10th Street
Helper: We will have a helper, but need a lead teacher
Pay: $25 / hour
Other details:
There is a budget of up to $25/week for each child for materials, and at most 10 kids.
7 current sign ups, a lot of 3 year olds, and many students with German-speaking parents.
Brad can help out with planning and communicating with parents as much [or little] as desired, and he'll be there on the first day to make sure all is good to go.
Activity suggestions – games; songs; arts and crafts; stories; puppets; simple, short lessons with accessible activities in German (numbers, letters, animals, etc.).
Possibly entertainers throughout the week (story time, music, etc.)
Friday is usually a "splash party" (kiddie pool, soakers, shaving cream, etc.)
Note that we'll have to run a background check.
Here's a suggested daily schedule:
9:30 - 9:50 – Greeting and Arrival (have toys, paper and colors out)
9:50 - 10:40 – Lesson Part 1 (First day: discuss the plan for camp and camp rules, indoor getting to know you games)
10:40 - 11:00 – Pause (draußen)
11:00 - 12:00 – Lesson Part 2
12:00 - 12:40 – Lunch
12:40 - 1:40 – Lesson Part 3
1:40 - 2:00 – Games and arts & crafts
2:00 - 2:15 – Pack up and clean up
2:15 - 2:30 – Outdoor play / dismissal
