Grandparent's day!

Today Ben had a open house for grandparents. Since he has no grandparents in the area I went. There were lots of Japanese grandparents and American parents!

Ben standing next to one of his best friends in the class. I'm not sure exactly how to spell her name but you say it Owie. And just in case you are wondering, yes they are required to keep their shorts hiked up to their chest! The teacher actually went around to each child and made sure their shirt was tucked in and their shorts were pulled up!!



Ben's turn to answer to roll and then ask me how I was doing. He used to be pretty shy but not anymore!

Ben LOVES school! He loves to sing his Japanese songs and dance around.



During this song the kids went behind us and gave us massages. They sang a song and eventually started rotating around in a circle to give the other adults a massage.

After our massages we went to their performance room for a show.

Ben's class - he is in the upper right.









Time to leave. Sayonara!

Big hugs from Sensei Natsumi!!
