Schedule for the Storm


Little Brother brought this memo home on September 5th. It says a typhoon is heading for Japan and will make landfall on the 7th. Another memo tells us what to do about school if it hits on the morning of the 7th.

This is basically what it says:

1) If it's raining heavily and the wind is strong, stay home.
2) If it starts to rain heavily and the wind starts to blow heavily on your way to school, go back home.
3) If you're at school and the typhoon hits, you will go home in your neighborhood group (the one they walk to school with on the first days back to school). Teachers will lead a group to its usual meeting place. A parent is expected to watch the storm and be at home (or make other plans) in case children come home early.

I watched for the storm. Little Brother made it through a whole day of school and came home at the usual time. The storm is moving slowly and is expected to reach landfall at 7:00 P.M. Tokyo time. School will start at 10:30 tomorrow unless the storm is still strong. Big Sister had to leave school early, too.
