explored some new places today!

i sat in the "educational center"

at the SAM asian art museum and

read all these darling colorful picture books.
i want [almost] ALL of them for my future classroom!

"Growing up in Toyko" inspires me to design a

unit that explores what it's like

to be a child growing up in various countries.
I'm thinking it would be fun to learn about:

Japan, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Iran, Guatemala,

First Nations of Canada, Brazil, India,

Fiji, France & Sweden.

then, i stared at stunning puget sound while

eating my piroshky and holding my tulips.

exactly one year ago, i was standing right here,
wishing i could be admitted to UW,
so i could live here and have this view :~)
