Tokyo Lesson Plan: Littles Edition

Bow hello, run a pretend vending machine, and hang paper lanterns like Asakusa.

This is the Littles Edition of Tokyo: one ready-to-teach week written just for grades K-3. Every day follows the same rhythm: Reading on Monday, Writing and Words on Tuesday, Science and Math on Wednesday, a Hands-on Project on Thursday, and Show and Tell on Friday.

The big question: What would one day in Tokyo look like, from breakfast to bedtime?

The Week

• Mon: Shoes Off, Bow Hello (Reading) • Tue: Three Japanese Words (Writing & Words) • Wed: Vending Machine Math (Science & Math) • Thu: Paper Lantern Street (Hands-on Project) • Fri: The Tokyo Travel Show (Show & Tell)

Teaching more than one level? The all-levels edition of Tokyo has Littles (K-3), Middles (4-6) and Bigs (7-8) in one file, so siblings or a mixed classroom can study the same topic together.

Perfect for homeschool families, grade K-3 classrooms, co-ops and substitute plans.
