We are very into a routine in our home. Some might say stuck in a rut. But it is working for us. I'm encouraged to see how eager my son is to do "school work" and how much he's improved with reading, writing, and math, because we work on these almost every day (sometimes we have pajama days).
He's doing so well working one on one, but I am wanting to give him more. I wish I had some sort of curriculum to follow. Beyond a couple worksheets from the school (which he quickly finished) and a remedial TV program, we've received no further instruction from the school.
The look of pride on his face yesterday after reading two books in Japanese and today after reading one in English, is so heartwarming. Obviously things are going well at the moment. I'd like to continue this upward momentum.
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
