MY JOB: From Monday to Thursday I teach English at various schools throughout Akitakata-shi. I have 4 kindergartens (the kindergarten classes take place in Day Care Centers), 3 elementary schools, 1 junior high school, and 1 adult English conversation class. Although the kindergarten kids are by far the cutest, I also enjoy teaching at the elementary schools and the junior high school. (I have yet to begin my adult English conversation class, so I can not compare it to anything yet.)

My class at Hinokawa Kindergarten
I am with these kids for one hour every week. This week we learned about ducks, and then played "duck, duck, goose." When one little girl was labeled the "goose" she burst into tears and the game had to be put on hold. Most of these kids are really shy, but there are a few who are really outgoing.

It is very popular to do a "peace sign" when having your picture taken in Japan.

Karita Elementary School's Sports Day
These are the 1st and 2nd graders. They are not quite old enough to play the instruments, so they entertained the crowd by throwing beanbags into these nets. They were actually really cute!
