What I read to the 6th class
Saturday, September 21st, 2013 at 7:00 pm by Saltanat KubanychbekovnaAfter Jumabai ata died I read his "Spring on the jailoo" to the 6th class on Monday, from his blog, printed on a clean page. Then I asked: what does the radio smell of? Silence. Then a boy said "dust". Then a girl said "batteries". The grandfather's radio in the poem has never smelled the grass, of course.
That is a good lesson in the poem, and in the history of the radio in Irad.
I printed "For those who left" too. I did not read it aloud. Some of the children knew why.
