| The gym |
First, kids go the shoe room to change their shoes. During the school day, kids wear slippers to keep the floor clean. Next, kids go to their room. Japanese school is different because kids stay in the same room all day. Then there is a class for about one hour. Then there is a ten minute recess. This pattern continues until lunch. Food is brought into the classrooms and the kids serve. Every day we bring a bag with utensils and a cloth napkin. After lunch, there is cleaning time, as there are no janitors. Then there are classes until the end of the day, which is about 300. During the day, I usually work on assignments from home during regular classes and go to gym and others. One kid in my class speaks very good English, so he helps me understand important things.
I see a lot of flat ground around the school. Is it grass, or cement, or what? I'm glad there is an English-speaking boy in your class. That must help a lot.

ReplyDeleteThe part that you can see is the recess yard. It is made of sand.
