Michael's School Pool And My Name On The Mailbox

During 2 weeks of the summer break the school pool holds daily sessions for different classes so the kids can have something constructive to do. Today was Michael's first session. We had to go to the store to buy a swim hat prior to entering the pool. Looks like we'll have to go back to the store to buy the special trunks they wear. The pool was shallow, about 2 1/2 feet.

Michael had a good time and did well. It was an 80 minute class with exercises, some swim practice and then 15 minutes of play at the end. I was very impressed at the orderliness of the kids and how quickly the kids got quiet once asked. There were about 75 kids in attendance at the 1st and 2nd grader's session today.

Here are a couple of pics I took before I was asked to refrain from taking pictures. Apparently the privacy of each student is important and pictures are not allowed to be taken anywhere around the school. Oopps.

Also included is a picture of our mailbox with my name on it, in Japanese and English, should I get mail here.

Our 31 boxes will be delivered tomorrow afternoon. We're a little worried about what we'll do with all the stuff. It's going to be interesting!!!
