Thoughts about Japan!!!

It is hard to believe that I have been back home for three weeks. Lots of thoughts and memories are still fresh in my mind. I'm posting this picture, again, because it was truly one of my favorite memories - talking to a group of young, high school men, who were my son's age. We talked about peace, and war, and dreams for the future. These young men have wonderful lives ahead of them - my hope and prayer is that all the young men and women of our world - have peaceful lives ahead of them.
Plans for my future include working with my homeroom students to write and create a multi-media presentation all about Japan. We are going to put together a presentation about Japan - it's culture, people, and education. We are going to learn a Japanese dance - the Kawasaki. We are going to take our presentation "on the road" and share our knowledge and insights with people at our school, our district, and our town. Stay tuned - exciting things are still to come!!!
