Teacher's Thoughts
It was a great achievement to be able to meet teachers from four different countries. By looking at the world, the children were able to have a strong desire to discover the good qualities of each country.
Children's Impressions
While I was hearing what the Philippines was like, I became more and more fond of the Philippines. They showed me Brazilian rice. Compared to Japanese rice, Brazilian rice was long and thin, and I was surprised.

Teacher's Thoughts
In both the 1st and 6th grades, the children and foreign nationals were able to interact with each other, use English, and achieve their learning goals.
Children's Impressions
I wanted to know more about the teacher's country and I wanted to tell them more about Japan. Even though our countries are different, I was happy that we had something in common, such as their favorite colors and sports.
