School

Here are a few pictures of my school and classroom. The school is located in the suburbs, so I commute about an hour each way to get there.

It's a really old school, but very unique and Japanese-style. The kids and staff all have to wear a special pair of indoor shoes to walk inside the building. It's an English immersion school, so most parents put their children in this school when they are just babies so that they can learn English naturally. It's amazing how quickly young children are able to learn a second language. My students are only 5 years old, and very fluent in English!

Here is my classroom and kiddos! It's a pretty small room, but perfect for only having 7 students. The room was originally used for the older students, so a lot of stuff on the walls/books/toys are not very age-appropriate... it's been a long process of trying to change the decorations and find toys that are more appropriate for them.

I am really enjoying working here! The staff are all friendly, and it's a laid-back and fun working environment. I love having a weekly routine now - it certainly makes the weeks fly by. I'm still only working part-time 3 days a week... which seems to be the perfect amount. :)
