Arrived in San Francisco and this is a view from my room!  Then headed off to the first meeting - an orientation on the trip to Japan.  We will be doing a lot of school visits while there and also have a homestay with a Japanese family.

Dinner was spent talking with some of the teachers from Japan and the U.S.  Learned one of my first Japanese words:  Itadakimasu means Thank you for the meal.  I will try to post a new word each day.



Student questions:  What is Sustainability?  What are we doing at Howard Gray to be more sustainable?  (answer these in the comment section below)

  3. Dear Sue,

    I know Japanese! To kakunin o okonau koto ga dekimasu ka?

    (in other words, how do you do?)

    I am doing that assignment, and to answer your question, sustainability is the quality of not being harmful to the environment. And we have a tortoise habitat that helps with the nitrogen cycle and the carbon-oxygen cycle. BYE!
