I am beginning to learn more about Japan from my students! Yesterday, Regan shared a PowerPoint about her experiences in 'Japan' while at Epcot 2 weeks ago. She had amazing pictures and facts and shared Japanese candy with all of her classmates. Today, Holly, shared an email that she had sent to a professor of Asian Studies at UCLA about typhoons!! She found his name and email address on a handout that I had given the students when we studied Japanese proverbs. He assured her that although October is 'typhoon season' in Japan, I should be safe, but that I need to take an umbrella and a raincoat. Lynsey has checked out a book from the library on origami, and she made me an origami butterfly today! I am so fortunate to be a teacher!! I think I am going to miss my students very much!
