lobsters & lighthouses: March 2013

another nor'easter swings through & we've got yet another snow day! on one hand, a whole day of teaching lost is starting to really put a damper on a few units! but then again, i LOVE the winter. and snow. and when you look out your window at 6am to a winter wonderland...i just can't hate. it's still falling too! and snow day = blog post.

asia visited for a long weekend, and we had a fantastic time wandering around nyc. we visited the 9/11 memorial & reflected on that day we still remember..and how the children i teach know it as a part of history - not their lives. it's an unsettling feeling, but also comforting. i hope nothing like that happens in their lifetime. we also went down to battery park, to get a faraway glimpse of the lovely lady liberty & ellis island. warmed up with soup in chelsea market, and then trekked up to the high line - a walkway built on old railroad tracks in the meatpacking district. danced nights away & had great conversations about france, our present, and what we want our futures to look like.
