US Japan Exchange Day 10



Today we had a work session to plan joint projects that schools in the United States and Japan can successfully collaborate on to achieve.  We grouped by projects that would be of like interest. Some groups are doing projects on water quality, some are mapping cultural heritage, and my group is focusing on recycling.

Next year, Crest View  Elementary will participate in a joint recycling project with a school in Missouri, a school in Chicago, and a school in Omuta, Japan. This project will have our students looking at ways to reduce waste through recycling. 

Some Pictures from the joint conference today.

Tonight we had a wonderful reception with the Japanese and American educators celebrating the journey that all of us have been on over the past several months.

Tomorrow morning we are going to present our projects to each other. This will be the final task of the joint conference. After our presentations in the morning we are free for independent research.
