Mr. Osawa, a Grade 6 teacher from Matsukawa Elementary School

At 8:00 am on October 12, Mr. Osawa led 21 Grade 6 Class 3 students from Matsukawa Elementary School  and a total of 30 family members to “The Phone of the Wind”.

According to the story, after reading the picture book “Kaze no Denwa” in class, the students wrote essays of their impressions. The students were impressed by the story and wanted to go and see actual model. It is inferred that the teacher cherished the feelings of the students. What a wonderful teacher he is!

Many schools increase the study hours by thickening the textbook so that high scores can be obtained for the exam have been held since 2012, but I sympathize with the educational attitude of Matsukawa Elementary School, which emphasizes action by fostering sensibility, impressive and inspiring feelings.

Considering the background, Matsukawa Elementary School in Matsukawa Village are surrounded by the beautiful Northern Alps and the countryside spread out where delicious rice and water. Also Chihiro Art Museum Azumino is near by. Matsukawa Elementary School seems to be interacting with it through art activities.

It is widely known that the environment has a great influence on the formation of a child’s personality. Children who have an educator who makes the most of the environment are happy. I can dream in the future.

Many cheers to Grade 6 Class 3 of Matsukawa Elementary School !
