Mr. Blackwelder's Japanese 1-2 classes have recently completed doll
projects in a celebration of Hina Matsuri, or Girls' Day, celebrated on March
3rd in Japan, usually by families with daughters. Each student created two- or
three-dimensional dolls and explained their physical characteristics (shape,
body parts, clothing, colors, etc) to the class. Many students also added
information about personalities and likes/dislikes, bringing a creative flair to
the presentations.
