Now that the Christmas Show (and all the preparations and practices therefor) is past, there is lots to do to catch up and consolidate what we’ve been studying for UOI Unit 3: My Country.

Students still have a lot of questions and observations for me, and for each other.

Everyone likes finding the Long Plain and its itty-bitty red city on the map, everyone knows the BIG red metropolis is the TOKYO area, and can also locate other cities and features on maps.

We’re finding that everyone can see better with our semi-circle formation now, and we enjoy telling about the things we bring to show friends. MOST of the time we can keep focused on the friend who is presenting, and ask good questions as well.
