This is the Shokoji Nursery School in Niiza Ishigami. I would like to share with you the intergenerational exchange that took place the other day. The exchange was held in the afternoon, but it started pouring after noon, so everyone had to wear sandals for swimming.
The fifth social gathering this year was to celebrate Respect for the Aged Day. We started the event with a lively performance of "Tonbo no Megane" (Dragonfly's Glasses).
Every year, for Respect for the Aged Day, I make bookmarks to be used while reading books. This year, I made a moving bookmark for "The Goldfish That Ran Away" using a clear file.
A two-year-old child presented the bookmark on behalf of the kindergarten, adding the message, "Stay healthy forever."
We received a handmade souvenir from one of Cocofan's users. Thank you again for the wonderful gift.
Next, in a vaudeville-like atmosphere, the children demonstrated paper cutting techniques. The theme was "catching dragonflies."

Finally, we participated in the "Matsuken Samba," a dance that users enjoy while moving their bodies. We held gold and silver pom-poms and danced while waving our hands a lot.
"Here we go!" Everyone joined in, creating a lively and exciting atmosphere!
We took a commemorative photo with all the users.
I will visit you again in October before the sports day. Thank you for the fun exchange event.
We received handmade horses as souvenirs. Each child took one home. They enjoyed rocking them around the house.
