At Provenzanos' today! Bring your computer and your ideas...

Photos from Aburayama

I forgot to take my big camera but the iPhone did a pretty good job on these:
Climb!
Nozomi and Maya try out the swings
Creek crossing
Sophie and the cicada exoskeleton!
Moni, queen of the sumo ring (Hang in there, Hana!)
Ren runs the obstacle course

Interesting TED talk on bilingualism

Hi kids - call Mom and Dad and get them to watch this video about bilingual kids. REALLY interesting stuff!!

Pictures of our morning on Aburayama coming soon!!

Tomorrow's hiking

Hi everyone! I just heard from Doug about tomorrow's plan. Several people have things to do AFTER Kidz' Group, so let's meet earlier than usual so we have enough time for our hike. We are planning to go by car to the Aburayama area - Doug knows a good trail that takes us up to Momoland, with a stop at a good playground. We hope to take 1 hour to go up and 1 hour to come down, with 1 hour for traveling to and from Aburayama.

Meeting time: 9:00 a.m. (Rise and shine! Please don't be late so we can get on the road right away.)
Meeting place: Provenzanos'
Things to bring:
- Water bottle
- snacks for the trail
- lunch for eating at Provenzanos' after if you want to
- pencil
- wear sturdy shoes
- wear layers - things you can take off if you get too hot or put on if you get cold

We are planning to return to Provenzanos' by 12:00 so that people can go to their next activities.
Please contact me to let me know if your family will be coming so that we don't leave anyone behind tomorrow morning!

Hiking next week!

Watch here for more information about hiking a Aburayama next Saturday!!

Meeting at Provenzanos' again

This Saturday we're just going to do the same thing all over again! Bring computers and lunch if you plan to stay on for a while. We are going to push on with making guidebook pages. Think about the page you are making and if you need more information to make the page more complete (Ren?), take some time to do a little research at home before you come. See you on Saturday!

Next meeting at Provenzanos'

Hi Kidz Group Gang:

To carry on with our research and to start composing the new guide book pages, let's meet at Provenzanos' Web Cafe (well, ok... it's not exactly a cafe but we do have wireless internet!). If you can, bring a laptop. It would be great if that laptop has MSWord on it and if the laptop can connect to the internet wirelessly. If you don't have a laptop to bring, don't worry - we'll be working in teams and we'll make sure that there are enough computers to go around.

If anyone wants to stay here to eat lunch, that's fine - just be sure to bring something to eat!

See you at 10:15 on Saturday.
