081908_03.jpgClassroomAfter the group demonstration, we were asked to teach 3 classes of 6-7th graders. We only had 2 big teacher's abacuses, so we divided the 3rd class into half and asked them to join the other 2. Mr. Yabuki took the lead of 1 class, and I (Tomoko) took the other. In this classroom, we reviewed what Mr. Yabuki taught the students at demonstration before getting into the fun stuff of actually touching and using Abacus!Sep 02, 2008
