Well, I asked for anecdotes and I sure got some fun ones!!!Here is the best:
The picture to the left has a former student, Maggie John who went to Japan on the trip in 2003. It is posted on the Washington High School Japanese Facebook group. Elizabeth was showing her student, Yuki, the website and wouldn't you know it, she said whe is in the photo!! Directly across from Maggie you can see a student from Gushikami Elementary school. She has short hair and you can see her head and her white shirt. That is Yuki!!
Elizabeth also shared a moment at sushi house when she pointed at the chopsticks and said "oshiri," meaning to say the Japanese word for chopsticks, "ohashi." Imagine how red her face got when after Yuki looked at her puzzled, she realized she had said the word for rear end!
I'm also fond of hearing about Andy Mitchell getting a huge pair of pruning shears to cut a little ole' lock off of a suitcase. I imagine Sakiko thought something scary was going to happen!
This is such a fun time and I hope that all families are starting to settle in and having fun with each other.
I'd like to share with you a few photos and a video from Friday at school. Every day we have a student or 2 go on the announcements to teach the school a new word. Here is a video of yesterdays announcements:
Here, 4th year students Ian and Suhaib give a tour of Washington High School to our new exchange students.
Have you ever...? Another one of Sensei's dorky games with cards!! Lauren and will show Sakiko how to play.
Japanese 2 students type up letters to "host families" and the exchange students type up e-mails to the Japanese 2 students. Lucas and Scott look on as Kazuna and Mino type.
Can they pull it off?!?! Here not even 24 hours and the students are practicing their performance for our assembly on Monday. They sure are brave!
See everyone at the bowling party tomorrow!!
