What I am Thankful for

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

In school, I am teaching a lesson about Thanksgiving. I asked my teacher what students knew about Thanksgiving and he says "Turkey." So I have a lot to explain. At the end of their lesson, students write in their journal of 3 things they are thankful for. I was surprised by two students responses. Since it made me so happy, I would like to share their amazing English with everyone.

"I appreciate you. I didn't know about Thanksgiving Day. You taught me very important thing."

"I appreciate Ms. Juni. Because it is easy for me to listen to her English and she often talks to me. I like to talk in English, but sometimes I don't know what to talk to. She makes me take it easy to speak in English."

Three Cheers for crying in school!

かわいい～ Part 1

I've decided to start posting all the ridiculously cute things that I see in Japan.

Number 1: Apple Bread


Number 2: Pumpkin Bread


Number 3: Individually wrapped fruit flavored Kit Kat bars


Number 4: Ukon- this is the Japanese hangover drink. It is said that if you drink one Ukon before and after a night of chugging them down, you will wake up feeling A-OK! If this image doesn't trigger anything, this is the stereotypical Japanese drunk. Their work tie on their head while trying to sing karaoke.


And a cute word for the day...
