Saying Goodbye to Japan...Part I

These are some pix from my Kita Elementary school where I taught in Heguri-cho until July 15th. I LOVE the elementary school kids. On my last day of school, I got SoO many little letters from them with little cute handmade gifts that they made. I'll read them on the plane and cry even more. I will miss them SOO much, but hopefully they'll be at the junior high school when I come back to visit. I totally cried at the farewell party with the elementary school teachers. I will always remember Ikuko-sensei and Yamamoto-sensei.
