Hi all!
Today we were back to our Tokyo schedule. That meant lectures and seminars all day. We heard from a man about art education in Japan. He showed me some very cool art projects that I will do with you when I get back. They are fast and easy but so fun. We also had an opportunity to ask questions of a professor from a local teacher's college about education in Japan. I feel like I have some pretty good information about how the education system works in Japan.
This evening I went with some friends to Ueno park and then to a shopping district nearby. We are all getting to be experts at riding the subway! What a great way to get around a big city. We had our last dinner out in Tokyo tonight. Tomorrow is the goodbye banquet. It was wonderful to spend time with new friends who will be lifelong friends after this trip,
Tomorrow will be my last entry before I leave for home. I am ready to come home and be back with you all. I can't wait to share all I have seen and learned.
See you soon!
love,
Mrs. Calkins
