Fall is very well celebrated in
Japan, with people going out the mountains, valleys, Kyoto, or up north to go
see the changing of the seasons. We are lucky to be close to the park, which is
full of ginkgo trees and turn a wonderful yellow.
We usually go early in the morning
so the park is quite empty besides a few runners and other families.
We made our way to the ginkgo area
and were lucky enough to find the entire area clean as can be and not a leaf
out of place. We got out our brooms and built a huge pile of leaves that we
jumped in and threw all over!
Nothing like having a little bit of
fun to increase their motivation to learn and come to school while celebrating
the seasons.
