Full Swing

It's been a while since I wrote here.  Winter is in full swing here in Sapporo now.  Shoveling snow here, there and over there too.  Hiking up and often slipping down mountains and then snowboarding down.  Not to mention getting all the lesson material ready and then actually teaching the classes.  The activity has been a nice change!  I haven't been shopping in weeks...

Hope you are enjoying this winter too!!!

Slippily,

Pat

Fresh Start

Happy New Year Again...

It has finally snowed!!!

Lots of fresh powder on the ground and in the mountains and a fresh start at English Island too!  I am looking forward to this year.  We have been studying a little "Oshogatsu Vocabulary" and started  looking at animals too.  By the end of the month, each student will be able to talk about and describe an animal of their choice.  The English Island zoo has opened it's doors!

Stompingly,

Pat
