土曜日に通っている日本語補修校の先生が、わざわざ写真を撮って送ってくださいました。はじめての国語の期末テストで100点をとりました。1年生のクラスとあって(娘は現地校では2年生ですが、日本語補修校では1年生）、生徒たちに自信を持たせるために工夫してくださったのでしょう、まずはテストの模擬テストをやらせてテストというものに慣れさせ、今度は本当のテストで模擬テストとは内容的に違うものの難易度としてはやさしい問題を出してくれました。きっと何人も100点をとったのでしょう。とってもやさしい先生で、うちの娘は先生のことを「おかあさん」と呼んでいます。Our daughter's teacher at the Japanese school (they go every Saturday) sent us this picture of her over e-mail. It says "I scored 100 points (full score)." on the blackboard. While she is a 2nd grader in the local school, she is a 1st grader in the Japanese school. Many of the students in the class have never taken tests before. The teacher let the students take a model test a week ago so that they can have a feel. Then they took the real test, which was much easier to handle, even though all the questions were new. I guess many students scored 100 points, and the teacher took many pictures like this one. We are lucky to have such a caring teacher. Many students in her class call her "Okaasan (mother)."
