Today we got to attend our second special seminar. I had chosen to see a kindergarten so I boarded the bus again and headed out early. The school was a Protestant school located in a church. The children were so sweet and had made us all kinds of origami gifts. We spoke with the director of the school and learned of its history. The classes were very small and we enjoyed watching the students learn. I was surprised how even the little ones were so tidy and responsible. When they changed into their PE uniforms, they carefully placed their blazers and uniforms on the floor and folded them. The small pile of clothes was folded into a perfect neat bundle.
The afternoon gave us a chance to participate in a Q&A on Japanese Education and Society. It was good to be able to ask some of the questions that we didn’t have answers to and share comments.
Once the meeting was over we headed out for the last time on the town. Off to Asakusa, (the place we went the first day) for some last minute shopping and then off to check out an area covered with bookstores that we had heard about.
