Countryside School

Throwback Thursday - We go back this week to the first week of school in 2016. Remember the breakout rooms in a box? This one was Star Wars themed. These students are now in college and graduate school! And this classroom is now our kindergarten room and is painted pale blue. Where does the time go?

Countryside takes Japan! This is our middle school family International Trip that we take every 3 years. We have so many travelers that we are divided into two trips - one day apart. While Trip B had their flight cancelled due to a typhoon, Trip A began their tour of the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo with 5” of rain! Trip B arrived a day late on a rescheduled flight via Canada.

We have enjoyed the Asakusa Sensoji Temple, a sushi making class, the Shibuya Scramble, Pokémon Center, and even an owl cafe. The two travel groups ran into each other at Mt.Fuji and took an impromptu photo!

And of course - as is required on all student trips - if someone loses something, the repercussion is that they have to hold Mrs. Young’s hand. But the person who lost their hotel room keycard was Mrs. Young! So whose hand does she hold? It was decided that she would hold the hand of our littlest traveler (who has not lost anything yet 😊).
