Kimmel Sensei was absent.
The following directions were left for the substitute teacher:

'Late-summer article from the Japan Times, “Farewell until next year, heat, humidity and o-haka-mairi”:  students are to write a 4 paragraph summary, in English.  They should also write all of the Japanese words in the article at the bottom of their summary.

The other handout is a sample of two kinds of Japanese fans, a folding fan and an oblong fan on a stick, with the proper Japanese words for these items at the bottom.  Almost everyone, male and female, uses fans in Japan in the summer. Students should color one of these items.  Finish for homework, if necessary.     

'If they have extra time, they should study the vocabulary from Chapters 1 and 2 from Nakama.'
