Happy Halloween!
October 31, 2008
I went to a designated English elementary school called Ikiriki today with about 15 other ALTs for “Orange Day.” something the school has been doing for about 20 years. It’s pretty nuts to hear a 7 year old Japanese say “let’s go!” and then start asking you about things you like in English. After seeing 14 year olds that can barely say “My name is _____” it was really nice to see. You can definitely see the difference that a commitment by the entire faculty of a school can make to achieving a goal.
My 9-day vacation starts tomorrow and I probably won’t be posting until I get back. I hope you are all having fun in crazy costumes! Extra points to those of you who dressed up as Sarah Palin.
