Special Education- Elementary
Wow---I'm still in shock to see non-Japanese students/teachers speaking and singing in Japanese! How interesting! I wonder: would I have been different person today if I myself were educated in a language-immersion school environment. Without ever knowing, I already know the answer. This is an amazing time for both students and teachers, and I only wish that I am challenged as a teacher in such a way.
