Japanese Kindergarden

Today was very special. I was allowed to sit in for a day in a class room at Rie's kindergarden. All of the kids were incredibly friendly and incredibly cute! They all wore blue and white uniforms with little yellow caps. I introduced myself to them in japanese and they all said "good morning" to me even when it was 2:00 pm.. that was pretty funny. All the kids were very disciplined even at such a young age and they all sing songs together. Todays schedule consisted of planting "edamame" in the school's garden, recess, lunch, art class, story time, and singing time. Pretty much identical to my junior year schedule at high school....
