Japanese Culture Friday Group

Last Friday was the first day of our 5-week exploration of Japanese culture.  We will be viewing movies and clips created by the famous Japanese director, Hayao Miyazaki.  We will also do some activities to immerse ourselves in the culture.

Last week students did an online scavenger hunt on the website KidsWebJapan, a great resource for information about Japanese culture.  They really enjoyed the games and activities available there.  Most students also used the Katakana chart to figure out how to write their own names in Japanese.  Students wrote their names on paper lanterns, now on display on the front window of the computer lab.
