That's good afternoon in Japanese! We have been totally engrossed in everything Japanese for the past few weeks. So much fun and so fun to see the enthusiasm spread throughout the school.
It's been a busy few weeks, but when it's all over, we'll think it's worth it:). So far, we have read books about Japan, made books about Japan, colored flags, fans, and other pictures of Japanese things. We've also tried Japanese food: shrimp crackers, rice crackers and seaweed wrapped rice crackers (this was even hard for me!!) and some yummy Pockey sticks and Hello Panda biscuits! We saw pictures of Japan (including the tsunami) and learned that "Hello, Kitty!" came from Japan. We tried to pick up pompoms with chopsticks and Mrs. Drnek taught us to do origami. Oh! and we can even speak and sing in Japanese!
I have some pictures that I can share, but I feel like we've been in a whirlwind and the camera hasn't been picking up everything. Hopefully I can get some more next week. I might try to figure out how to add a video of us singing if I can figure it out.
Thanks for all of your help with kimonos and karate jackets. Too cute and so fun!!!
Enjoy!
