We showed calligraphy in the yard during lunch. Many people came. We prepared a lot of origami and had everyone try to make some.
Everyone was happy to have their first name written in kanji. Invading the art room to study calligraphy! This time we wrote an example. They practiced imitating it. They did very well.
