Kindergarten

Today when Yasuko comes home we are scheduled to visit the daycare that Evan will be attending and pick up the paperwork that needs to be filled out. After breakfast Evan and I got dressed and ready to go so when Yasuko got home we could leave.

When we arrived at Evan's Daycare/Kindergarten he was a little shy and cried a bit because he didn't want to join the other kids, even though he knew two of the kids well. After warming up to them a bit he was ok, we walked around town with all of the other kids while they checked out the rice fields and looked at the frogs and tadpoles. Evan even caught a frog that still had it's tale.

After looking at the rice fields they played at the playground of a local school for a while and then walked back to the kindergarten building. We took the paperwork and went home for lunch, but not before exploring a road we had never went down before.

After lunch and filling out the paperwork we went back to the Kindergarten to interview with the two teachers, the other kids were taking a nap so we went into a back room and talked while Evan played with various toys they had.

Evan is scheduled to start on July 1st for half days for a week, and then he will start full days which is 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. I think he is going to like it and it will give him a chance to pick up the Japanese language faster and to interact with kids his age, which he has never been able to do.

The school is only $70 a month, so it is very reasonable, and will give me an opportunity to do some side jobs for money and not have to worry about coordinating schedules with Yasuko and Koby's school.

When we arrived back home I worked in the garden weeding the last area I have available to plant more corn. I didn't realize that one corn plant makes one ear of corn, so we are going to need a lot more plants than we have now.

Later on that evening we took a trip to the grocery store for some snacks, we are going to go with the Sumi-san family and Fujita-san family hiking tomorrow, and wanted to get some things to eat for a semi-picnic.
