A trip to America

I have gone twice now with Chinen Elementary School to Zukeran Elementary School, located on an American military base here. It is quite an interesting experience. I think it went better with the 2nd graders than the 6th graders, but that might just have been because the teachers were better organized. The kids always start out shy, but by the end of the day have a new BFF that somehow they’ve acquired by communicating through gestures and a very small amount of verbal conversation (an even smaller amount in the others’ native language). I thought I had more to say about this, but I can’t think of anything, so if you have questions, please post them and I will answer.
