Oh happy day -- we were delighted to welcome our 100th new
student to the playgroup. The bemused winner was two-year-old Airi Kuzu
ha who received an ABC puzzle from us and our youngest, Emma (our hardest working employee). Airi was a natural, by the end of 90 minutes she had mastered the complexities of matching shapes in English and had spoken several words in English, the hardest being "octopus". We learned later that her mother is a gospel choir director in Kashiwa, so we hope our singing wasn't too out of tune.
