Travel Day
Today I traveled back to Tokyo. I have not had internet access for the past 9 days! I spent most of this afternoon and evening catching up on work and personal emails. Now that I have internet access, I will begin posting about the last week and a half, which has been incredibly interesting and very, very busy! This process will probably take at least a week as I will be busy in meetings all day tomorrow and then will spend the next day traveling back to the United States.
I have so much to share. We visited lots of schools, met lots of teachers and students, and I spent 24 hours with a Japanese family in their home. All total I've taken over 2,500 pictures thus far!
So over the next several days posts will begin to appear. Take care to look back in time (by date) to see if posts have been added. I am dating all of the posts the day I had the experience. For example, just a few minutes ago I posted briefly about my visit to the middle school. However, that visit took place last week. So, if you don't go back and look at previous days on the blog, you will miss new posts that will be appearing over the next week. Similarly, you would miss the fact that I posted 4 pictures of Mount Fuji, most of which were shot on October 7th but were just added to that day's posts.
I wanted to post about the middle school first because most of you are just now waking up and getting ready to go to school at Mabry. (Remember I'm a day ahead of you?!) I wanted you to be able to learn a little bit about the middle school that will be participating with us in this international learning project.
Well, as my day is ending, (You can see the picture I just took from my hotel window of the Tokyo Tower.) yours is beginning. As I always say over the morning announcements at Mabry, "Have a great day for learning!"
