It's finally summer break for us. Amalie had such a wonderful experience here in Japanese school. We wrapped a little gift for everyone in her class with a message, saying “Thank you”.
In Japan, it's okay for children to walk by themselves to and from school. They can even go to the neighborhood park. Ever since I gave birth to our kids, and I'm raising them in the US, I'm not used to letting them get more than 6 feet away from me. However, after a couple of weeks here, Amalie really enjoyed walking to school and coming home with her friends. Every morning, her little brother, Luther cried for about an hour on the street, because he wanted to go to school as well. I just have to deal with his terrible, horrible twos.
While Amalie is in school, Luther has to play pianica. It is what first graders learn at school.
Amalie's teacher gave her an opportunity to be a school lunch server for a week. Luther just had to wear the uniform on the weekend before washing and returning it.
All the kids in school must to have this safety hat to protect from earthquakes. (It might be just around here in the city of Tokyo.) Usually, they are attached to the kid's chairs. This was mine from my high school. Luther is pretending he is He-man, of course.
The red hat is for PE. PE is usually outside, and it is supposed to protect from the sun. Why isn't there a bill? It's an ultra UV hat isn't it!?
