ほしくずを拾い集めて gathering star-dust : 所外活動幼稚園 Where Do Kids Get Their Energy??

ここでの合宿の６５日間中、２日だけここ二本松付近の地域の施設にお邪魔してお手伝いする「所外活動」というのがある。
私とナイケル君は車で２０分の幼稚園へ…。

幼稚園生のパワーに圧倒される！
遊んだり絵本を読んであげたり絵を書いたり一緒にご飯食べたり。
みんなが帰った後はワックスがけ。

     Such an energetic day I had. Kid, Kid, Kid.... tons of kids’ smiles.
Another peer and I went to a kindergarten. As an outside-activity. They ran to me like I am a target. Where do they get their energy from?? I read some picture books to them, played tag, and we made something from paper and glue. That was so much fun!
Boys tried to touch my breast! On the other hand, many girls kissed my peer who is a guy! We had lunch together. Some kids talked about English. They know about ‘How are you?’ or the names of foods, animals. I wanted teach English to them more. Because it looked like they like English!
     They were eager to show me almost everything. Like the cups they have, towels, something they made when they finished their lunch everything, how many times they jumped rope.....
They really want approval, compliments, to share their own information. It’s interesting. Because I think kids and adults are not separated. I mean, kids are the core symbols of being human beings.
     I think I can learn a lot from kids. I’m going to go there one more time. So I’m looking forward to it!
