There must be something important at this kindergarten tomorrow. The elementary school is having their Sports Day so maybe this school is having theirs, too. Why do I think so? See the white things hanging in the window? They are tera tera bozu made like the ghosts we make out of Kleenex. Tera tera bozu are hung in the window when you want a sunny day. So, before a picnic or an important outdoor event children sometimes hang these in the window so it won't rain.
Notice the shoes outside. This classroom opens onto the playground. Children and their teacher take their shoes off before going inside. The potted plants outside are tomato plants.
Note: I may change this photo later with one that shows the tera tera bozu better. After school, Little Brother said his class made some today, too.
