As NT has written, this is the second report from California on what is turning out to be a wonderful study abroad experience.
2月13日に私たちはCommunity Montessori Powayという小学校に行きました。私たちは3つのグループに
On February 13th, we went to an elementary school, Community Montessori Poway. We were divided into 3 groups and introduced
some Japanese games to students in two lower grades and one upper grade. We introduced the bomb game and fruit basket to the upper grade students and played together. We also played a fruit basket sitting version using chairs that they made. After that, we played red light green light. It is called だるまさんが転んだ in Japanese. Today, it was a rainy day so we played the game inside.
私たちは、普通のだるまさ
We played the normal version and the sitting version with knees extended because their movements were so fast. After that, we played Kendama and Yankee Doodle. Yankee Doodle is called アルプス一万尺 in Japanese. After teaching Yankee Doodle to some of the students, they taught me finger play in America. I was nervous, but they were interested in us and talked to us actively so I felt happy. I also noticed that a teacher didn’t get angry with them when they started to do other things. I felt the organization of the Community Montessori Poway is an education that respects individual feelings. So I thought that such a school is important and needs to be in Japan. One girl wrote me a letter so I was so happy.
Messages from the elementary school children

After going to the Community Montessori Poway elementary school, we went to Westfield North County. Although we were going to go to the sunset market, today’s weather was rainy, so we went to Westfield. It looks like ソレイユ in Hiroshima prefecture. I bought some souvenirs and some accessories. There were many kinds of stores, so I was surprised at the kinds of stores. It was my first time going there, so it was stimulating. I also noticed that Americans can talk because there is a place where they can express themselves freely. Today, everything was a good experience for me.
The exciting shopping mall
Thanks to NT for the second report. We're looking forward to hearing more soon.
