Yesterday we went to Toryo Junior High School. It is for students in grades 6-8. You can see a bunch of photos that a staff person at the school took. The website is
http://www.komaki-aic.ed.jp/toryo-j/ The site is all in Japanese but you’ll be able to find the one part in English. Click on the Japan Fulbright Memorial Delegates pages. There are four pages of photos.
The students were wonderful. They were so nice and patient with us. They practiced their English with us and carried our lunch down to the classroom. Lunch was noodles in soup and corn on the cob. I took my laptop with me and showed the students photos of our school. They were surprised that our Conneticut students in grades 6-8 often don’t get a recess, only study halls. The students were interested in hearing about the music I liked. I asked them about their favorite music. They recommended some music for dancing that they liked. I’ll have to see if I can find it to bring home for our movement breaks.
