Kilian's Mother Tonya provided the materials for SLIME science experiment.

Kilian explained us its procedures and instructed the whole experiment.

It is a little more solid than Flubber, and look more beautiful than flubber.

Thank you Tonya.

Planting seeds

The plants occupy an important place in "Water Cycle".


We cannot really grow trees but I bought seeds bed kit for growing flowers and herbs. Probably it has been a while since kids grew plants at school last time. They all looked excited.

Hopefully kids can take some back home before summer break.

We are also planning to give some flower pots to Japanese Track Teachers before or after graduation ceremony.


Flowers: Cosmos, Pansy, Alyssum
Herbs: Basil, Sage, Thyme


Planting seeds


Done!
