Spider Wars on the Wall

Your child's cloths must have been dirty last a few days.

They call it "Spider Wars on the Wall ".


I don't know how to call this in Japanese, because we created this play in our own right.

It is like a ball tag.
The rule is simple. You have to stay in the soccer field or steeps. Oni has to throw ball to others.

Kids really enjoy that I have been "IT/Oni".

To be honest..... I feel guilty every time they slide on the dirt steep with their pants. I did fail to control them about this..... But I have suggested kids to stay inside the classroom when it was showering, but the answer was "NO". They call the shower "Oregon Sunshine". Really?

I have learned it...



...... please let them wear something old.

DAIKON- Japanese Radish

On the 4th grade Japanese text book, the main character Tsubomi-san got the Daikon as presents. So Aya-sensei brought some Daikon meals for kids.

Daikon- Japanese radish.

#1 Boiled Daikon
You can boil it with soy-source based soup.



#2 Grated Daikon
You can grate it like gingers and garlics and put it on grilled fish. Also you can add it into BBQ source to make it mild. I like putting it on top of TOFU.


Look at the following pics. 
You can see how much they enjoyed Daikon flavors.

Recess #1


Soccer Team



Soccer is our favorite thing to do during the recess. They never stop playing during the limited recess time. That is why all my muscles are soar badly every morning.

They also play soccer at the PE time.
