@allisonmathisjones: Although I was SO sad to leave the school that we had fallen in love with, we found an international school in our new area that seems like the perfect fit for our 3 year old daughter. She’ll be starting there on Monday, so today we went shopping for all of the items that she needs. This was my second time doing back to school shopping in Japan, so I kind of knew what to expect. However, the list the school provided was 100% in Japanese, so figuring out which items were needed was a bit of a struggle. Google translate and the staff at the store saved the day! Does anything included (or not included) in the list surprise you? I was surprised she doesn’t need crayons and colored pencils. I guess those are provided by the school! I’m super excited to hear all about Harper’s 1st day when she starts on Monday. #raisingkidsabroad #lifeinjapan #schoolinjapan #schoolsupplies #schoolsupplyhaul #internationalschool #expatinjapan #livingabroad #expatlife

Y’all worried about her not speaking Japanese way too much. How do you know that she’s not trying to learn? Just enjoy the video or scroll on.

You guys, I’m sure they’re going to learn Japanese. It’s actually easier to learn while they’re there, surrounded by native speakers

By “backpack,” are you sure they didn’t want you to purchase her a randoseru?

Do ppl in these comments realise that Japanese is not something you can just easily pick up? Especially when it comes to reading/writing cuz of kanji?
