Hello everyone!
It sure has been another hot summer! I’ve been waking up early to run before 6am, but even at that time it’s already really hot!
Do you have any plans for summer vacation? My kids and I are planning on swimming almost every day. We also plan to eat snow cones and smoothies and relax in the air conditioning! Anything we can do to beat the heat!
Every year, students’ summer vacation seems to get longer and longer. When I first arrived in Japan, I could be wrong, but I thought summer vacation was less than a month. Now my kids have more than 6 weeks off! It’s a long summer vacation, especially for parents!
But when I was growing up in the United States, we had more than 3 months of summer vacation! It’s a long time to be out of school, but I went to a day camp every morning for about 4 hours where we played outside, swam, made crafts, and did some fun group activities. I also went to summer camp for one full week every summer until the end of junior high school. Have you or your children tried a summer camp? There are many good ones around here. My kids have gone to ninja camp and English camp. They really enjoyed it! What summer camps have you been to?
Reminder:
There will be no classes from August 10th to 22nd. Classes resume on Monday, August 24th. Have a fun and safe summer vacation! See you soon!
