Update

I haven't written here in a while. As part of my follow up plan I have taught my students a mini unit on Japan. They have participated in the art class. We made greeting cats, origami and practiced writing kanji. The kids have really enjoyed this. I have also presented at the school to our 7th graders as they finished up their unit on Japan.

Going to Japan

As some of you know I was selected as a Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholar back in March. I am very excited to have this opportunity. I will be leaving for Japan on November 12, 2006 for almost 3 weeks. This site is dedicated to my students. I will miss you all very much. You may follow my trip at www.leaptrott.edublogs.org I used this site because it was an educational site for teachers.
