KONICHIWA

The last thing Maximus did this school year was become a detective in Japan with Top Secret Adventures. As he worked through each step in the mystery, using puzzles, mazes, hidden pictures and secret codes he learned about the people, the culture, the history and the geography as well as learning to follow directions and think logically.

While studying the country, Maximus seemed most interested in the children and their schools. We learned how to make paper lanterns, origami, of course and we made a mess trying to eat with chopsticks. My mom has traveled to Japan so we spent a little bit of time talking to her and listening to her thoughts and experiences. Maximus mostly couldn't believe they eat raw fish, and octopus.

TSA is a great way to build world knowledge and we plan to go around the world with them!
