My name is Mandy McClain and I am the Japanese teacher at Kids ‘R’ Kids. I have been learning Japanese for 3 years now and this is my second year teaching at Kids ‘R’ Kids.

Last year I had a wonderful time teaching the children numbers and colors through songs, flash cards, and art projects.

Every week the Japanese class receives a coloring sheet with a new word or phrase. This is great way for you to learn with your child. Be sure to ask your child's teacher for the Japanese coloring sheet of the week!
