日曜参観 Nichiyou Sankan ～ Let's Take a Peek on Parent's Visiting Day

Hey guys♪

Have you ever read about parents visiting day on manga or anime? If you have, do you know what it's called in Japanese? It's called... Nichiyou Sankan (日曜参観) or Jugyou Sankan (授業参観)! This event is held so that the parents could inspect their child progress in school and inspect the school itself.

Sooo, in Study Tour program last month, I've got a chance to participating in this event! I was so excited! 

When I arrived at school, I was really surprised because Japanese elementary school is huge! I said that to my host mother, but she said, "there's more school bigger that this school". Wow! I think I can't be more surprised than this.

First, we watched class performance in gymnasium. We only watched 6th, 3rd, and 1st grade (Taro's class) performance because we need to go to 4th grade class to observe Eiko. All the performances were good. I was surprised that even the 1st grader know how to play pianica. I mean, ALL of them playing it. There's none of them who just standing doing nothing like in my school back then.

After watching class performance, we made a short visit to Taro's class and then, we go to 4th grade class. It was a computer class. I thought we will just standing and watching, but the teacher allowed me and my friend to play computer game with Eiko. Well, it's not exactly a game, it's a game made for typing practice. The game was fun because I can learn some kanji and vocabulary!

And that was the end of my first experience attending Nichiyou Sankan.

Nichiyou Sankan is really fun and full of surprise! I'm glad I have a chance to attend it 💕
