Day 4: Karate

Iti! Ni! San!!! To wrap up week two, the children were taught karate and how to incorporate the sport with Japanese. The Sho-Rei-Shobu-Kan Karate Club taught the students Okinawan Goju Karate. The sport of karate is all about defending oneself. The children learned basic karate moves and learned what to do in dangerous situations from bullying on the playground to encounters with strangers. The week was fun and physically educational. In week three, the children will learn Italian and have special presentations by the Swing Society.

The Language of Learning Beginning September 1st.

Fall is almost here!!! As the new school year approaches, we must gather our plans for September and November. Each month will have its own special series and its own special overarching theme. The September series will focus on languages. This will consist of presenting the children with a broad spectrum of languages, displaying diversity from throughout the world and accomodating them into different activities. The weekly activities also have specific themes, for example, animals (horses, cows, etc.), alternative athletics (lacrosse, cycling, etc.), and the arts (photography, dance, etc.). Any questions regarding the September series, contact Kam Phillips at 817-726-0535.
