For this inner city Japanese school in Tokyo, reaching out to other Japanese kids overseas is a priority. Their website: www.tjf.or.jp/shogakusei has plenty of information to keep their peers updated on what they are missing in their great country. The school is grades 1-6 and has approx. 500 students, and operates on a trimester system. The 6th grade classrooms each have a website with a brief biography on their students and teacher. They all bring different interests and information to the site. I was impresses with their philosophy that they aim to cooperate with each other in everything that they do and that it is okay to make mistakes, school and friends are there to help correct them. They love corresponding with with foreign students through their blogs.
