On the beautiful, crisp morning of Friday, April 1st, LMU-Kanto students hauled over the hills and valleys of East Tennessee to spend a morning with Hancock County Elementary School students in Sneedville, Tennessee. In the Hancock Elementary gym, they entertained the third graders with a Japanese song, sung a capella, and then taught them many activities that are special features of Japanese culture, such as the wearing of yukatas (typical dress for Japanese girls), teaching of calligraphy, use of chopsticks, and the practice of origami (special Japanese paper folding design). The visit was right on time for the third graders’ unit of lessons on world cultures, and a great time was had by all!
