| As part of our international exchange meeting, we greeted our guest from Mongolia on November 15. We have had an ongoing exchange with her for many years.  Miss Bolormaa received a Ministry of Science Encouragement Award for her entry in the Jyoyou Town Picture Book Competition. Her entry has since been published and Miss Bolormaa presented Futaba Elementary with a copy of the book. |
|
 Greetings in English and Japanese. |
● I acted as chairman of the picture-book presentation ceremony. I wasn't nervous and I managed to complete the ceremony without any mistakes, so I thought that it was really good. I didn't get to speak to Miss Bolormaa directly, but I was close to her during the ceremony, so I was excited while conducting the presentation. I have already read 'The Black Hair of Mongolia' and I would like to read it again. |
| ●As I am a member of the International Exchange Committee, I also acted as chairman of the picture-book presentation ceremony. I was very nervous, so I was happy not to make any mistakes in the presentation. 'The Black Hair of Mongolia' is in our school library and I will look forward to reading it. |
