Day 13 七夕祭り (Festival of the Stars)

7/7/2017

Today was an exciting day at the academy, full of learning and festival fun! The beginner class learned family vocabulary, using conversations with partners to practice their Japanese language skills. After lunch, students learned the history of the kimono and yukata as well as making origami to prepare for the yearly Tanabata festival (celebrated on July 7th in Japan). After everyone dressed up in a traditional yukata and obi, students sang songs, made wishes, and played festival games to learn about and celebrate Japanese culture.
