Japanese Club November activity

We had a Japanese club presidency meeting this week and we decided to have a potluck party and afterwards we are going to do some origami.

Since November is the month for Thanksgiving, we just want everyone to be thankful for your ancestors that came to America, so for the potluck we want you to bring a dish that reflects your heritage or something that is traditional in your home.

I will be bring fried rice, some students are bringing spring rolls, deserts, etc.

Please let us know if you are coming so that we know how much food we should prepare. You don't need to bring a lot of food, it is just a sample kind of thing, so if everyone brings something we will have tons of food to sample.

We want to get to know everyone better through this activity, so bringing a dish that is different will also give us the opportunity to know a little bit more about everyone.

Exchange students from Japan came to spend a day at the junior high. We played a variety of games together (do you love your neighbor, red light green light, Kanji body game) and it was very fun!!! I hope everyone enjoyed it!!!

Those that became study buddies/tour guides for the day, make sure you bring me a one page written in English about your experience being with a Japanese exchange student the whole day. Things that you thought was interesting, funny, new, etc. If you don't give it to me on Monday you are not getting this extra credit (25 points).

Also, since this morning was crazy, if you need to retake or turn in something to me, please come to the high school either before or after school tomorrow and I can help you out.

Extra credit for 9th graders

As I have mentioned in class before, the exchange students from Japan are coming to attend classes at AFJH on Oct 27th (Thu). If you become their study buddies for the whole day, I will give you 15 points of extra credit. It will be a wonderful opportunity for you to practice Japanese and also to learn more about the Japanese culture and customs.

If you are interested, please go and talk to Mr. Young (Assistant principal) in the office ASAP. He will assign you a Japanese exchange student for the day. You will serve as their "tour guide" throughout the day and they will be attending the same classes as you.

This extra credit will be part of this term's grades!!!!!! So don't lose this chance to improve your grades!!!!!

Announcements for Japanese 1
