Origami is the art of paper folding. You can make pretty much anything. Like a duck, lion, tiger and much, much more.

This is my dog RILEY. He is a border collie corgi mix. He is a very funny dog. When I took the picture he was tired. He dose not like the snow.

I take taiko class on Tuesday after school.Taiko is the art of Japanese drumming. The word taiko means drum in Japanese. Taiko is not a regular drum it is a drum that is made out of pine and female cow skin. This is how you make a taiko. Frist you have to cut about 7 inchs of pine. Then you have to dry the cow skin. Then you have to holow out the pine. Last but not least strech the cow skin over the pine and pin down. Do not try this at home it is very hard.But there is anothr way to make a taiko. This way is esier. You need a garbig can and a pare of sisrers and duck tape. Frist you have to trun the garbig can upside-down and cut a hole. Then strech the duck tape over the hole and you have a taiko.My teacher is the lady on the rite hand corner.

This school might look like any ordinary English school. It's not it's a Japanese school.That's right I learn Japanese. The school is Richmond Japanese Magnate School, which is a charter school in the Portland Public School District.

In this blog I will be telling you about what it's like to learn Japanese.
