Melissa - "Undoukai" Japan

This is the third year for our project which began in 1995 when Isamu Shimazaki (Japan) and I used art with our students. Art has a way of breaking down language barriers. Take these links for a full perspective of our work together which this year has expanded to include students in Uruguay, Peru and Brazil.

From Japan... Patti, Today I taught second grade AKIO and fourth grade Sonnie. They are brothers. Using computer, they tried to make a sheet to present what they were learning today. Of course their files contained their voices. But I sent only GIF files this time. I'm thinking how we solve our language problem. And more we are trying to do project with Spanish, English and Japanese. Maybe tomorrow Melissa writes Spanish letter. Thanks for your help, Isamu From Maryland... Hello friends in Japan, Peru and Uruguay, We got lovely pictures from our friends in Japan. They have some pictures of an owl, a camel, a dog, a lobster, an alligator, an alligator and some blocks.
