Give your class this introductory activity to spark interest in the Japanese language. Learners look at the Japanese vowels and practice their pronunciation. Then the class works to match vocabulary words to their visual representation.

Students practice using the Spanish words for the days of the week and numbers. They use a calendar to help them with the activity. They also demonstrate their ability to say "tomorrow will be" and "yesterday was".

How can we estimate time? Have your young mathematicians make a clock. Then they compare and contrast types of clocks. They practice writing times in two different ways and make a book about telling time.
