Elementary --- June 21, 2006

The children eat lunch in their classroom. Some children were wearing masks and those serving were also wearing white smocks and hats. They went with the teacher to pick up the lunch, which had been prepared in the cafeteria. Meanwhile, other children put desks together to form little tables. The students made a place for me. Each child had his own placemat on his desk.When the teacher and servers returned, children lined up, got their lunches and returned to their seats. No one started eating until everyone was served. The teacher ate at her desk. Over the loudspeaker classical musical played during lunchtime.The lunch was very healthy. It consisted of rice, miso soup, salad, salmon and milk. All students ate the school lunch.My classroom teacher commented on how well I was able to use the chopsticks. Every child in my class ate all the lunch. They cleaned their plates.
