Eiken Winter 2008

This video summarizes what 3-5 year olds experienced during Eiken Winter School 2008, which was a five-day English intensive program in December 2008. Listen to their voices, look at the work they produced, and see who their teachers were.

Dedicated to my students who produced the work and the Eiken Assistants who helped me in the classroom every day. Thanks S1, I enjoyed every moment of the week.

Notes on the production: Photos taken with a cell phone and arranged with Animoto. Soundtrack was chosen because this song was played every day for the students during their music class.
