Hello!

My Name is Mrs. Claxton, and I am happy to be your child's 4th grade teacher this year!

This is my 5th year teaching 4th grade at OCSI! I love teaching 4th grade and learning alongside my students! Before coming to Okinawa, I was a kindergarten teacher in Tokyo. Before Tokyo, I lived in Illinois, US.

I grew up mostly in Tokyo, but also loved living in Kansas, Mie-prefecture, and Illinois.

Growing up, I enjoyed many types of schools: Japanese public school, International high school, school in the United States, and homeschooling. Each setting grew my passion for learning and growing.

It is my dream and desire that we can all grow as learners, thinkers, creators, and unique individuals who have a kind heart for others and ourselves!

Mrs. Claxton's favorites:

Color: Blue and Green!

Food: dark chocolate, honey and fruits !

Drink: I love coffee and tea!

Activity: I love reading, cooking, painting, and traveling.

Books: I loved reading the Chronicles of Narnia as a 4th grader. I also love any picture book by the Japanese author Anno Mitsumasa.
