Kev Graduation 2007 : March 23, 2007, Kevin's graduation from Miharu Elementary School (6th grade). WOW! It was a lovely ceremony Kevin looked spiffy in his new glasses, slacks and sweater vest and dress shirt. All the kids looked so grown up! (Mommy looks terrible cuz she had a fever that day!) Tomoko sensei cried a LOT. We all started crying at the end when the teachers started crying. The kids sang three lovely songs for us, and another for the teachers. Now, off we Junior High!

ABC Kids Graduation 2007 : The Miharu ABC Kids graduation class of 2007 - Momoka, Momoko, Takuma, and Haruto! On March 21st we gathered at the Ogisawa Kominkan (Community Center) for a ceremony to honor our FIRST full class of Preschool graduates. Juntaro graduated last year by himself. These four kids have been with us for THREE and a HALF years. Their English is amazing! They understand everything we say, even at normal American speeds. They are forming complete sentences, and reading/writing at Kindergarten, early First Grade levels. They are SOOO smart and cool! I am very proud of them. I was proud of ALL the kids. They sat and listened thru the WHOLE ceremony! A lot of our kids are leaving us to go into regular Japanese kindergarten or daycare (we can't accept kids without their parents present because we are a "Circle" not a school YET), so we will miss them. A few are moving away - Yui and Hitomi, Haruto and Kou - but most of them will come back for Summer School and Special events and/or attend one of our other classes, if not the daytime Preschool program.

Charlie Brown Dress Rehearsals : My "Theater Club" (one of the English classes I have run in Miharu for 7 years) decided to do a FREE public reading of "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" as a final piece. It is our FIRST attempt at a musical. Kristi Freitag (from Rice Lake, WI) plays Lucy and Kevin Schieffer (my son) plays Snoopy. The other cast are: Ayana Sakuma as Charlie (she was also Margot in Anne Frank), Masako Satoh as Linus (also Fred/Marley from Christmas Carol and Mrs Van Damm in Anne Frank), "Bob" Yaginuma as Schroeder (who always plays Bob Cratchit in Christmas Carol), Yukari Nitta as Sally (Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Cratchit), and Kaori Sakuma (played Anne) will play Linus in one performance where Masoko is not available. Then there are a bunch of other chorus members (kids to adults). We are having a great time.
