Field Trip!

Yesterday I went on a field trip with my class. We went to a park called Little World, which kind of reminded me of a small Epcot at Disney. Each section of the park was dedicated to a different country - so the kids got to wander around and explore homes and artifacts from around the world.

My class of first graders, they are all 5 years old. I have seven students, all Japanese - but they speak English very well. And yes, they start using the peace sign at a very young age!

Unfortunately the only display the park had of North America was of tepees. So now my students all think that I live in a tepee in the U.S.

  2. Japanese children are to make the piece sign by nature.
    When we hear "Cheese", unconsciously two fingers flip.

  3. Love your class, Mrs. Schreurs! Don't worry, it's still a buyer's market here with the trend to continue for some time, so you won't have to settle for a teepee when you return stateside permanently!
