今年の夏休みは短く２３日間

　地元・倉賀野小学校の子供たちの夏休みは８月１日から２３日までで、例年に比べて大分少ないです。そして８月２４日から２学期です。私はそれぞれ学期初めに１週間、毎朝通学路の巡回パトロールをします。平素もすでに１０年以上に亘り、この巡視をしてますから最初の子供たちは成人してます。

　ところで以前に音楽会を拝聴しましたら歌も楽器演奏も驚くほど上手でした。どの子どもも音楽演奏に集中し、私は倉賀野小学校の音楽教育に思いのほか感銘を受けました。

 The summer vacation for local Kuragano Elementary School children is from August 1 to 23 which is considerably less than usual. And the second semester begins from August 24th. Every morning I will patrol on the school road at the beginning of one week each semester. I've been on this work over 10 years, so the first kids became already adults.

 By the way, When I listened to the concert before, they were very good at singing and playing musical instruments. Every child focused on music performances so that I was deeply impressed with the music education at Kuragano Elementary School.
