Last week, she visited Exeter Public School where she helped Grade 6 students prepare a traditional jap- anese meal which was later eaten in traditional style, with chop sticks. "I'm introducing Japanese culture and background. I brought slides and videos and I'm helping the teach- ers," said Tsubouchi. One of the teachers she was helping educate the Grade 6 class was Bill Van Wieren who has been in- troducing his students to the Japanese way of life. He said it has been very interesting and his class really enjoyed it. They have been learning about dif- ferent cultures from many countries. Tsubouchi, 21, graduated from college in March and is in Canada as part of the International Intern- ship Program. "I came in April and I will go back on December 25. I'm visiting many schools," she said. She compared learning to speak English in Japan, to Canadians learning French in their schools. "Everyone has to learn English, I took it for two years in college." Cooking a traditional Japanese meal was a group effort at Exeter Public School last Wednesday. Here grade six students Gina Fragiskatos, left; and Adam Little are helped by visiting Miyuki Tsubouchi. Tue lighting in Hensaii Refreshments and public skating followed the lighting of the tree.
