**Sitting down outside at the local sports park, I discuss the challenges and rewards of teaching at shogakko (elementary school) in Japan.

I hope to film one more vlog touching on some other important aspects of teaching at elementary, so if you have any questions related directly to teaching younger kids, then please leave a comment and I’ll address them in the next vlog on this subject.

小学校 (shougakkou) is grades 1 (１年生) ichi nen sei – thru to grade 6 (６年生) roku nen sei. So usually we’re talking about kids age 6 to 12.
This term I’m teaching 5th graders and 6th graders exclusively, as my area is trying out the newly introduced English textbook, Eigo Noto 1 and Eigo Noto 2.

Every week I visit 5 different elementary schools, in addition to my regular teaching at one of my two Jr High Schools.

I plan on doing a separate vlog about the book being used and possibly I’ll go over some of the lessons I’ve been teaching this first term so you can get an idea of what level of English we’re talking about.

By way of example, yesterday I taught two classes of 6th graders the names of the months in English.

OK – hope you enjoy this vlog and more soon.

On September 11th, 2001, after Andy Card told George W. Bush, “the nation is under attack,” George, ‘target #1′ continued to sit in Booker Elementary School, surrounded by children, for nearly 7 minutes.

“Not knowing what to do — with no one telling him what to do — and no Secret Service rushing in to take him to safety, Mr. Bush just sat there and continued to read ‘My Pet Goat’ to the children.” — Michael Moore
