I like your style.

Two words: Yellow hats. :)

I adore the cute first grade students and the yellow hats they wear when they go outside. Here are a couple of pictures I took last month...

Rainy day style. :)

The students at my junior high schools wear school uniforms, but elementary students wear street clothes at school. For the most part, the clothes look like what students in America wear -- t-shirt and jeans. (Granted, the t-shirts often have goofy English on them.) But I'll sometimes see students who make me think, "I like your style." Like this girl and her lacey outfit...


Leggings are pretty popular.

Lovin' the striped pants and the glasses. :)

Now that it's flu season here, surgical masks are "in style." (as are hand sanitizer bottles at the entrance of every building. Folks are quite concerned about staying healthy.) At Kuji Elementary School yesterday, all of the students in my fifth grade and sixth grade classes wore a mask to prevent getting the flu....

And they gave me a mask to wear, too...

...which I was so thrilled to wear, as you can probably tell. Haha.

This boy's mask had little illustrations of bullet trains ("shinkansen" in Japanese) on it! Niiice.

Besides the mask, something else that's real popular for people of all ages to wear this time of year is flannel. I see a lot of flannel shirts being sold in stores, as well as flannel on my students...

Well, that's all for now. Peace out!

I can't stop giggling at the photo of you in the mask. At least you probably won't get sick too easily. The yellow hats are cute.
