T at Japanese Summer School

This week (the 2nd of 3) T's class at Japanese school made an "omikoshi." It is a portable Shinto shrine that is carried during festivals.

Here is T hard at work.







And here he is with the final product (he drew the second boy from the right).







In 2 weeks he has learned to write his name in Japanese (けんじ) and has been practicing other hiragana. He is good at saying his greetings when he gets to school and when he is leaving and shows interest in learning Japanese. I'm so impressed by how much he has learned in 2 weeks and hope that he will continue to be interested in learning the language and the culture.
