Halloween Weekend

Hi everyone!

Well, I don't know about you guys, but I am so excited about the fantastic work you've done on the Fantastic Fukuoka Mission Guide!!! I am hoping to get some samples printed this week.

NEXT WEEKEND is Halloween, and I'm not sure if everyone knows the plan, so I thought I'd make a quick note here. Saturday we'll have our usual meeting in Ropponmatsu. Christie will be absent (I have to teach some classes in the morning), so Doug will take both the Blue group and the Red group. You should all meet in the big tatami room at the Kashi Jimusho.

On Sunday, we're going to have a Halloween event based at the Provenzanos' house. Please arrive by 6:00 p.m. and wear a costume that is easy to move around in. We'll do some outdoor activities (hopefully the weather will cooperate!) and then finish up at Provenzanos'. Remember we'll have some visitors from Canada joining us this year, so get ready to welcome Angus, Kyle and Monica's cousins Alandra and Blair. We hope they like their custom made guide to Fukuoka!

Contact me or Doug if you have any questions -
Happy Halloween!

Hi tech Kidz

We had lots of computers going at our meeting this week! Everyone did a great job working with Microsoft Word to compose pages for our Fukuoka Adventure Guide. Let's meet at Provenzanos' house again next week to continue with the project. Graeme's group... don't forget your homework! You have some sentences to write. Richie and Jojo, we are looking forward to seeing the progress on your Fukuoka City page, too. If anybody wants to practice their typing skills, here is a good, free typing practice website. Try it out!

Maya and Olivia confer about the Kanji Quiz page


Here's Graeme, happy to be working on a MAC :-)


Here, Moni and Hana are hard at work on their hand-drawn illustrations

Nozomi and Ren (with Kyle, who isn't here at this moment) work on the Chopsticks page


Sophie, Nina, and Natsuko check out the Kappa Zushi page on Nina's iPod, while Angus takes a break from composing the Bath page to have a look...

Meet at Provenzanos next time

Hi everybody --

Great job last week (Graeme's group and Christie's group) working on the Fukuoka Adventure Guide ideas!! Doug's group will join in on the project in our next class. As we discussed, let's meet at Provenzanos' house next Saturday to keep working on the guide. Parents who are able, please bring a laptop computer (hopefully equipped with Microsoft Word). We'll get pairs of kids working with the word processing program to create the pages for the Adventure Guide. The reason we're meeting at Provenzanos' is that we have wifi here, so kids can research things online if they need to. (If the laptops don't have wifi, that's ok -- we still need the word processing capabilities.)

See you all next Saturday (October 9th) from about 10:15.
