Normally we have to make the class pretty dynamic as to keep these little minds rolling, but something unexpected happened last Saturday.
May 11th, thirteen hundred hours: The afternoon class is moving ahead according to schedule-insofar as post-lunch chaos permits it to.
Since it's time for the Great Big Enormous Turnip, I have the students (Haruki, Karina, Keisuke, Takumi Yuuri) sit down and open their books for a short enough take of Silent Listening Navigation as to not overwhelm their attention capacity.

But as soon as I press play on the CD player, silence befalls the classroom.
Astounded, I look around and see that every student is attentively following the words in the book with their index fingers, and in quasi-perfect concert with the audio from the CD.
A magical scene it was, as the spirit of the turnip descended on Paideia that day, and for a short time, turned all of the children into perfect little angels.

Let's go cycling around the Imperial Garden and visit the Science Museum!!
