Japan Day Japan Day Grab your passport and spend the day in Japan. Japan Day is a real favorite with my students because it focuses upon the Japanese culture.
Students do origami, haiku , and a variety of art projects.
The highlight of the day is preparing and eating an oriental meal, with chopsticks, of course. Cherry Blossoms Make a cherry blossom tree by cutting out a tree trunk and branches from green construction paper. Glue pink and red tissue paper twists on the branches for blossoms. Here is a favorite recipe that students can easily prepare with adult supervision. I cook the rice at home to save time.
