雨后的清晨与二年级年级集会「珍惜时间」
清晨雨过天晴。学校旁流淌的大川，水位比平时略高一些，同学们今天也精神饱满地来到学校。
今天举行了二年级年级集会，由负责老师围绕"时间的使用方法"进行了讲话。老师介绍了**"时间储蓄"**这一思考方式：如果把1秒钟看作1日元，那么一天就是86,400秒，也就是说，我们每天都被赋予了价值86,400日元的时间。然而，时间与金钱不同，无法留到第二天。没有用掉的时间，会在一天结束时悄然消失。
"如果每天早晨，枕边都放着86,400日元，你会用来做什么？"面对这样的提问，同学们纷纷重新审视自己使用时间的方式。
老师还谈到了珍惜每一节课的意义。尤其是音乐课，每周只有一节。在这有限的时间里，老师有想要传达的东西，也有想与同学们共同创造的东西——这份心意打动了在场的每一个人。接下来，二年级也将开始为合唱比赛进行准备。
集会最后，还确认了下周举行的游泳大会的相关事项。令人期待的活动越来越近了。
与伙伴共度的时间、专注课堂的时间、一点一滴积累的时间——珍惜其中的每一刻，正是珍惜自己、珍惜身边的人的具体体现。期待二年级的"团队北稜"取得更大的成长。

A Morning After the Rain — Year 8 Assembly on "Valuing Our Time"
The morning greeted us with clear skies after the rain. The Ōkawa River beside the school was running a little higher than usual, and our pupils arrived at school full of energy as always.
Today we held our Year 8 assembly, where one of the teachers spoke about how we use our time. She introduced the idea of a "time savings account": if one second were worth one yen, then a single day — 86,400 seconds — would give each of us 86,400 yen's worth of time every day. Unlike money, however, time cannot be carried over to the next day. Whatever we leave unused simply disappears when the day ends.
"If 86,400 yen appeared beside your pillow every morning, what would you spend it on?" Prompted by this question, pupils paused to reflect on how they spend their own time.
The talk also touched on the meaning of valuing each and every lesson. Music, in particular, is taught for just one hour a week — and within that limited time, there are things the teacher hopes to convey, and things she hopes to create together with the pupils. From here, Year 8 will also begin preparing for the chorus competition.
The assembly closed with a briefing about next week's swimming gala. An event to look forward to is drawing near.
Time spent with friends, time devoted to lessons, time spent building something up little by little — treasuring each of these moments is, in itself, a way of living out our motto: value yourself, and value the person beside you. We look forward to seeing Team Hokuryō's Year 8 pupils grow even further.
