Hello again!

G5 has been incredibly busy progressing through their very first unit. At first, we decided to explore our own culture in Japan. We brainstormed what are some important aspects that make a culture and the students said “food, clothing, celebrations!” We talked about what are some staple foods in Japan, from sushi, rice, udon to ramen. Afterwards, during the parent observation day and Spring Festival, we shared a nice “show and tell” museum, where the parents were invited to participate in it as well. The students shared an important item from their own home that was related to their own identity. One student touched on their swedish culture.

The second line of inquiry was achieved when the students were asked to make a presentation on their school’s six common language:

• Walking Feet
• Inside Voice
• Positive Language
• Speaking English
• Smart Moves
• Kind Hands
