Micah loves "hot chicken" (General Tso) and begs to eat it. About 2 weeks ago, I caved and went to China Imperial because he eats cheap there....During our discussion on where to eat, I told Micah we would eat Chinese.....of course he wanted to know what is Chinese....hmmmm, I said....people born in a place called China are Chinese....
In the restaurant, I asked our waitress to tell us in what country she was born and that is how we met Ms. Shizue (she-zoo). Ms. Shizue was born in Japan and was tickled to death that Micah was interested. She came back with an origami balloon for Micah.....you blow on it and it puffs up like a paper balloon.
The next day the Honeytree was all abuzz with discussion about Micah's special balloon. Next thing you know, origami books have been checked out from the library and little hands are furiously working at folding paper. Today, the grand finale was Ms. Shizue visiting the class to make origami and talk about Japan. Each child received an origami balloon to take home and loved it!
Micah with an origami crane for good luck! Notice the map in the background. The kids have studied about Japan and origami. Micah introduced Ms. Shizue and pointed to Japan on the map to tell everyone where she was born. I am not proud! LOL
The boys were mesmerized! Jackson, Owen, and Ty, with Travis and Mason on the front right.
I couldn't catch these three watching the origami...it was a photo opportunity they refused to miss! Kayla, Isabella, and Chase with Alyssa in the background.
