Day 2!

Today was another great day with the Tamagawa students.  We started the morning with conversation about their families, and then we moved into our classroom instruction and English language learning.  In my class, we played Jeopardy! with lots of questions about South Dakota and the US, and in Amy's class, they discussed different types of nouns.

For our afternoon activity, we went to Prairie Village and spent a little time at Lake Herman.  Enjoy the pictures from our day!

Taiga and Shunsuke.  I wouldn't mess with these two:


Shoko, Saori, Eisuke, and Saki riding the train!


Tadashi getting his hair did:

What's Prairie Village without getting an old-fashioned carousel ride?


A great group shot at Lake Herman:


Tomorrow, Sioux Falls!

    A class that we were divided into the group began on today. The class of Amy and Lindy was very more fun than an English class in Japan. Prairie Village came to watch Car Show last Sunday, but there was different pleasure then. Lake Herman was very beautiful. I want to come here at dusk. I'm looking foward to go to Sioux Falls!

    Madison city makes me amazing everyday.
    I want to live here forever. Lake is beautifle,food is exciting(but my host family is Germany,it's so healthy.)
    and my many dreams come true everyday.
    I get a second family. So,I'm very happy.
    My favorite things is "went to church".
    I'm very impressed. They were laughed in church.
    Japanese church can't laughing for all time.
    Why they laughing? Because laugh make loves. It's Jesus's teaching.(If I remember right.)
    I thought,Japanese wrong.
    I want to learn more Jesus's things very much!!!

    Good night:)

    Today was a good day. In the morning class, we were talking about our families. It was difficult for me but I did my best. And then, my team Kuniyoshi learned grammar and played Jeopardy. We enjoyed play it.
    After lunch we went to Prairie Village. There was a beautiful place! We rode a train and took a lot of pictures! After that we went to lake. It was windy out there.
    I hope it will be fine again tomorrow.
