I think it says
学びもののまとめをしよう
生活のまとめをしよう
事業と休みの区別をしよう
which are kind of preachy statements about how they should run the class.. Keep your learning stuff in order, keep your lifestyle in order, have a clear break between classtime and rest time. I'd assume that it's a left over from when the class was studying for end of year exams perhaps? Since the earthquake came at the end of a school year.

"I'd love to see a hack that lets one walk around in first-person inside an environment using Street View imagery, like a video game."
There was a TED video in 2010 doing almost that: http://www.ted.com/talks/blaise_aguera.html
Sorry about downvoting your comment, did not mean to.

I just watched that whole thing. Very impressive.
interesting, but didn't microsoft started to try to map the world with that very same approach way before streetview?
i can't remember the name of the project though...

Google have been doing lots of fun topical things with Street View lately.
Here's Japanese Cherry Blossom viewing, Street View style: http://www.google.com/landing/japanview/
I'd love to see a hack that lets one walk around in first-person inside an environment using Street View imagery, like a video game. Maybe the imagery is sufficient for that if used right.
