February 1, 2019 -- Friday　　　JAPAN FESTIVAL TOMORROW!

We survived the time of extreme cold　大寒（だいかん） and are back in school.

Warm-up was postponed to Monday, which is also when homework from Tuesday will be collected.


Our guests from Japan gave their presentations instead.  The Japanese students:
   
   1.  Asked our students questions about Japanese high schools
   2.  Gave a presentation about what Japanese high school students do
   3.  Gave our students an opportunity to play a game, sorting beans with chopsticks into the collect receptacle (green or orange)
   4.  Kendama--Archer and Emily were able to do it, and Ben made a valiant effort.
   5.  A finger game called 指爪　ゆびつめ　　（”Fingernails"）
   6.  Origami   鯉のぼり　（こいのぼり）It's a fish that can be displayed from a stick, a "carp flag" suitable for Boys/Childrens Day in Japan.  It doubles as a chopstick cover.

After the presentations, American and Japanese students spent the rest of the period mingling, talking, and taking photos.
