Our learning this week will be about Japan, as We will be interacting with students from Japan.  I've been talking about the group with N for a couple of months now.   N is excited about seeing the students and being able to go on afternoon excursions with them this week.   I plan to give him an assignment for this week, to have each student write down in his journal where they are from so that we may find that city on the Japan map.  And hopefully we will make it to the library this week to find a book on Japan.
