     The beginning class began preparing materials to teach 四季の歌 (Song of the Four Seasons) to the intermediate and advanced classes next week. Make sure your scholars sing this famous, old folk song to you when they get home. 
     In the videos below you will see students still struggling to learn ラジオ体操 (Rajio Taiso), the typical Japanese daily exercise routine performed by many businesses and schools across the country.  Also the beginning class plays かるた (Karuta), a game the Japanese children play when learning the alphabet.

That's because it's not just me anymore. The students are divided into Kaisha (companies), and one of them works with me creating the blog, memory book, and a short video that will be shown at the closing ceremony. Dinner is a working dinner every day, and my kaisha sorts the photos and prepares the blog every day.
