Last Friday I went on a field trip with the first graders to a Japanese elementary school. It was fun and exhausting. Some new things we discovered: Japanese school have a pool as they teach swimming. The kids do their own cleaning and seem to be entrusted to do a lot. They prepared songs for us, and then a pair of students took a group of our students upstairs where their classrooms were. They had ‘booths’. Where the kids played games and then picked a prize. Some were like stores. At the end they played Rock Paper Scissor.... Except that it is was different and they made trains
Playing a song.
Each Japanese kid had a pair of Americans....an a random adult chaperone.
I couldn’t tell you what it was in English. The flower is Hana...we wished Daddy was here for this part.
The kids did all the work. The adult just stayed in the hallway, if they were there at all.
Bowling
The Japanese students hurried the kids along. Reminded me of a train station. So many people!
The stairs
Emma lost the rock, paper, scissors game, so she had to be on the back.
Eventually they make one giant train
They made a tunnel for the kids as we left.
