Monday, May 19, 2025<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, May 14th, Shinryu Elementary School invited members of the Board of Education (including Chairman Tanaka) to join the first and second grade students for lunch.<\/p>\n

On the day before lunch, the first graders had a class on "matching games," and the second graders had a class on "exploring the town and making a map of Hokuryu Town" in their life studies class.<\/p>\n

1st grade class: Matching game<\/h2>\n

The "matching game" for first graders is a game-like learning experience designed to develop counting skills and memory.<\/p>\n

Cards with their pictures turned upside down are lined up on the blackboard, and students choose which card is which from the right (left), turn it over, and if the picture is the same, they win!<\/p>\n

Second grade class: Town exploration and making a map of Hokuryu Town<\/h2>\n

On Monday, May 12th, the children walked around Hokuryu Town using a map created by the teacher. They took photos while placing red stickers of the places they visited on the map.<\/p>\n

Each student was assigned a building and, based on a photo of the place they were visiting, they drew it on a small piece of paper with colored pencils. They then discussed the drawings and pasted them onto the map.<\/p>\n

1st grade: Lunch time<\/h2>\n

After the fourth period, lunch time begins at 12:05!<\/p>\n

In the first-grade classroom, tables and chairs are arranged in a circle so that everyone can see each other. Superintendent Tanaka Yoshiki and the teacher in charge also join in the circle, enjoying the meal while engaging in lively conversation.<\/p>\n

Lunch duty<\/h3>\n

Lunch duty is assigned to students from the first grade onwards, which helps to develop a sense of responsibility, cooperation and independence.<\/p>\n

Students on duty wear colorful aprons and hats and serve the food. They are divided into a "carrying and serving group" and a "distribution group."<\/p>\n

The student on duty carefully pours the soup, side dishes (main and side dishes), and rice (noodles) into the dishes, distributes the side dish dishes, and slowly places milk, straws, etc. at each table.<\/p>\n

    "I love ramen!"
    \n"Do you like miso ramen or soy sauce?"
    \n"Let's put the croquette side dish into ramen and make croquette ramen!"
    \n"The croquette is big, so we'll share half!"
    \n"XX always finishes his meal! That's amazing!"
    \n"I'm so full! It was delicious!"<\/p>\n

    The students eat as much as they can comfortably eat and enjoy a delicious lunchtime meal.<\/p>\n

    Lunchtime is conducted at a relaxed pace within the allotted time, without forcing students to leave food or finish eating by a certain time.<\/p>\n
