The pics I never sent! Sage's school concert, pics courtesy of uncle Masaru, Kenji's older sister's husband. He's an awesome photographer with an awesome camera! Here's Sage singing with his class and the second grader's I think.

He belted out those songs!

His class doing an instrumental song

Sage did great!

Singing with the whole school, the girl standing beside him is several grades above him, her mom told Kenji that she was thrilled to stand by Sage, he seems to be the school pet! He is front and center always as he is a head shorter than anyone else!

He stayed up a little late the night before because he was so excited and got up bright and early clothes and all that morning, so when he sang with his mouth open wide he inevitably yawned!

Doing the dance he refused to do at first because it was "too girly", and it was pretty much,,but it ended up being fun apparently

Being the leader for part of the dance, they decorated their own clothes..Sage and one other boy were neck and neck for how much tape they used!

Calligraphy Sage did with his Jiji of his name

Japanese hiragana character practice book with some chinese characters, kanji on the left side

math homework, looks the same everywhere, huh!

More hiragana and kanji practice, Sage is beginning to read hiragana and the kanji they write in first grade now. He is not so confident with his reading but it is definitely coming. We don't practice at home, too much other stuff to do here, so I was glad when he started to get it.
