今朝、来島卒業式に行きました。来島小学校卒業生は13人だけです。4月から赤来中学校入学生は28人だけです。少ないですね!飯南町は本当に田舎ですよ。午後中、来島氏所で妻のシグニーと頓原地域のALTのアリシアさんと一緒に町内小学生1,2年生と遊びました。シグニーはピックルボールを紹介したり、アリシアさんはヨガを紹介したりしました。僕は人間のジャングルジムになってしまいました。

Weather: Rainy Plan: Kijima Ele.

I went to the Kijima Elementary School Graduation this morning. Only 13 people graduated from Kijima Elmentary this year. Come April there will only be 28 new 7th graders at Akagi JHS. So little! Iinan really is out in the country. This afternoon, my wife, Signe, Alicia, the Tonbara area ALT, and I went to the Kijima community center and played with 1st and 2nd graders from the local area. Signe showed them Pickleball, Alicia showed them Yoga, and I became a human jungle-gym!

Looks like you make a good jungle gym.

Pickleball really tickled some brain cells, so I had to google it. Then it hit me, "Oh yeah, big wooden rectanglarish paddle, perforated balls, I played that in school."

So thanks for the memories:)

Wow, that's cool that you used to play Pickleball in school. I was my wife's favorite sport as a kid so we thought it would be fun to introduce to Japanese kids too. They really seem to like it as well.
