Today we had our morning language classes and afternoon topic classes. The beginner class can now discuss events in the present, future, and past tenses, as well as talk about how things went and who they did what with. Their language is growing so quickly! The topic class focused on more seasonal vocabulary with weather words, as well as weather-related activities. Soon we will debate the best season!

In the evening we had an awesome Pop Culture Night, which had 5 different activity stations: Karaoke, Art, Food Decoration, Purikura, and Kendama. We had a blast singing the pokemon theme song as well as some good-old Usher!

The purikura station, or Print Club in Japanese, had many cosplay outfits and colorful wigs and accessories. Even the teachers dressed up!

We could also decorate our own shortcakes with whipped cream, various berries, chocolate, etc. Delicious!

The Kendama station was a tough competition with some students' points totalling over 300! We have some Kendama masters here! The goal of playing Kendama is to land the wooden ball on the small concave spaces. Let me tell you, it is really hard!!!
