Dwayne Taylor's kindergarten class recently finished up a geography unit on Japan and celebrated by having a Japanese feast in their classroom.
"We ate noodles with chopsticks, drank Japanese tea, and shared a Japanese dessert. We made several art projects from Daruma dolls, which are used to fulfill wishes as part of the New Year, to an origami sunflower and learned to count to 20 in Japanese using a very cool song," said Taylor.
"We also made a short movie to share some of the information that we learned. We had so much fun!"
