Apr. 25, I presented easy bilingual tanka to about 30 students in the younger class at ECOLE JEAN GROU. It was a different class from the one I interacted yesterday. It must have been their first experience to hear 5-7 syllables meter. They were listening my presentation very carefully. |
 |
After listening tanka reading, we had fun with Origami. Due to the school rule, I cannot show their lovely faces. |

Apr. 24, I presented an easy bilingual tanka reading at the 5 to 6 years old class at ECOLE JEAN GROU. After my presentation, we had an Origami time and made fluttering crane. |
 |
The pupils as well as the teacher for the class are young and beautiful. Due to the school rule, I cannot show their adorable faces. At the end of the class, everyone said goodbye by exchanging the Japanese word I taught them, "DAISUKI". |
 |
I would like to thank the headmaster and the teachers of the upper grades to have spared time for me to get the photos taken with me. I was very glad to be able to meet the headmaster this year. I expressed my gratitude to her for giving me wonderful opportunity two years in a row. |
