Teachers’ Read-Aloud Play
They spent only three weeks rehearsing.

In that short time,
elementary and junior high school teachers gathered in the elementary school gym after work
to do warm-ups, voice exercises, and acting practice.

Holding scripts, they conveyed the story through a read-aloud play.
Reading, projecting the voice, and performing the narration.

They considered the intention behind each line and who it was addressed to.
They asked how best to read each passage so it would reach the audience.

With each rehearsal,
the tones of the teachers’ voices
grew richer and reached the ear more deeply.

When they moved to stage rehearsals,
tension and excitement filled not only the cast but the staff as well.

Looking back, the final week’s push felt truly intense.

We were delighted that not only the teachers’ former pupils—elementary and junior high students—but people of many ages came to watch.

On a stage lit by a pale pink moon,
wrapped in the sound of guitar and violin,
they delivered a confident read-aloud performance.

Thank you very much.

ALT’s Laplante Family Cooking Class In Nishiokoppe Village, we invited an English teacher from Juneau, Alaska. On the evening of Tuesday, November 28, Mrs. Laplante of ALT led the cooking class as the main instructor! Participants included preschoolers, elementary and junior high students, and adults from both inside and outside the village. We mixed people of different ages into groups and decorated cookies and made Quesadillas. The Laplante Family went around to each group checking the sugar-and-butter mix and how the tortillas were cooking. Frosting, colored differently for each group, looked vibrant when the four groups’ cookies were brought together, and each design showed its own personality. Those who felt a little hungry nibbled cookies before making Quesadillas. Quesadillas were filled with plenty of cheese and wrapped in tortillas with chicken or vegetables as preferred. The guacamole the Laplante Family made was also superb. It was a fun and delicious evening. Thank you to everyone who joined us! #Nishiokoppe Village #Cooking Class #ALT #Quesadilla #ButterCream #Frosting #Cookie Decoration #Setoushi Santa

Final Day of Activities at Korakuen Garden Since June, I visited the garden several times to help with maintenance. As of November 2nd, this year’s activities have concluded. During the hot months we waded into the pond to scoop out mud, and even in the chilly November weather we waded in to gather fallen leaves. What to do with the collected leaves… "That’s it — onion netting!" It seems the group leader suddenly had a flash of inspiration. I’d like to drop by on the first day of next year’s activities as well.
