Well hey, how bout that, I was looking for some audio on properly saying this greeting. I see alot of transliteration as ohayo gozaimasu, do you pronounce the "su in gozaimasu? I didnt hear the kids saying it.
I did notice the Mas in gozaimas, is quite a long syllable. Not said quickly, as just mas, more like maaasss. Did I hear that right as well?
Is that one class? I assume so seeing as they are all at desks in the one room. I teach 21 second graders. I could NOT imagine having a group as large as this one.
@3:48 I love how mom hugs the kids saying "gou kaku!" which means "pass!"
So they still draw those little "flower circles" on quizzes they give at an elementary school? Wow, that takes be back thirty some years when I was their age growing up in Tokyo. Actually, my teacher was too lazy to draw the "hana maru", so she just used a rubber stamp with red ink. But it looked just like what this teacher drew on the board. How I wish I could go back to those innocent days even just for one day!
Hi TiramisuHappy, Yes, the teachers at this school do indeed draw the hana maru on tests and papers and our Emily is always bringing these home to show us. I like going to the popular Udon restaurant chain called "Hanamaru Udon" where the food is inexpensive and delicious. The sign is decorated with a giant hana maru. -Kurt :-)
Hello amydien09,Thank you for viewing and commenting. The children at this particular school begin learning kanji in first grade. Before tackling kanji though they must first learn hiragana and katakana which many kids begin studying in kindergarten. Thanks again for your comments! Sincerely, -Kurt :-)
Hi Dave, Yes, that is Emily's class and this was a type of parent-teacher-class interaction day. Emily can be spotted wearing a black outfit and seated at the back of the class. :-)

Yes, this is a single class. There are even extra desks for additional students during heavy years.

Very interesting video! Thanks for sharing!
I have a question though: Grade 2 students can already read kanji? What grade do they start learning them?
