Beth's Adventures in Mbarara Uganda

For Social Studies, we studied the culture of Japan for a couple of weeks. Luckily, we had some first-hand experts--one of my students is Japanese and her parents came to teach us! They brought us a delicious sushi lunch and then taught us some typical games and fun activities that Japanese children play. They also taught us a little about the history and culture of Japan. In our studies about Japan, we also made Japanese Flying Carps for art, learned a few of songs--"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and "Happy Birthday"-- in Japanese, and even played a little trivia game about Japan. Overall, we had a great time learning about Japan!
