Bethany was invited to enjoy a fun day with a 5th grade class at a local Japanese School. On the bleachers are her peers who take either Piano classes or Japanese Language classes from our dear Shimako sensei.
The English speaking kids are trying to find words in Japanese on cards on the floor. They have to enlist their new Japanese speaking friends for help. Then vise versa. It was a great opportunity for all of us to use what little language skills we have. Laughter is universal and that is what we did most of all. I had to be careful and not loose site of my Bethany among all those Japanese faces.
