After the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, we decided to write Haiku poems for our friends who were there. We hope they find some comfort in knowing they have friends on the other side of the world who care about them.

1. Are you feeling well? Are you hurt from the earthquake? Hope you are ok Nature is nature Why should we be polluting It’s bad for the earth ブラッド Brad

2. Japan is it spring? Is the snow gone in Japan? Have some nice weather  Japan is awesome! I think Japan is very cool Japan is awesome! Haley
