Cool Ninjas

How could I resist when the posting arrived announcing Cool Ninjas workshop? This week at his preschool Roo will learn what it means to be a proper ninja. They will come to understand how a ninja walks, what they eat, what they wear, what tools they use, and how they behave, speak, and train. The mystery of the ninja will unfold as they learn of historical Japanese ninja figures and the tales that reveal their heroics. Using their science minds they will make bombs that create fizz and glitter for the art of "illusion". The week will culminate with a party that includes an exercise to “catch the baddies”. With lingo including “tools, bombs, and baddies”, this should be right up Roo’s alley.

The workshop will be lead by a Japanese teacher with the surname Hattori. The same family name as Japan’s most legendary ninja, Hanzo Hattori (1542-1596).
