Yesterday was a dream. I think that's the only way I can describe it. I have met some amazing people, including many of the Freedom Writers. We spent the day at Cal State-Long Beach. We went through many of the lessons that Erin has used in her classes with other teachers and she used with the Freedom Writers and then went through how to use them with our students. So, I made a shield of me, played the peanut game and fruit loop bingo and the line game (VERY emotional every time you play something like that). I have been partnered with many of the Freedom Writers and others who work for the foundation and they are amazing. I am still trippin' over the fact that they are only a year younger than me. And yes, I pick up my old language habits when I am around other people who are my age with the same language:)
I spent some time with Maria yesterday too. She totally remembers all of you guys that she met and remembers her day with us in Flint. It's unbelievable to me with all of the speaking engagements that she has.
Today we are going to work at USC again, but now we are going to work on lessons using the book, which will definitely be exciting. But, if I am really honest, I am looking forward to our evening activity. We are actually going to Paramount to view the movie! How crazy is that????
Well, I am looking forward to more of your posts. I can't share the photos yet, but I am the crazy picture lady as you all know, so there are over 100 in one day so far. There will be plenty when I can finally put them up online!
Love,
Capy

ohh ms. capy! that's so cool! i'm very excited for you. what an awesome experience! have fun. i can't wait to see all the pictures!
i learned some SWEET vocab words, ms capy. they are: perspicacious and sesquipedalian.
oh yes the funniest part about the word sesquipedalian is that it means either: having many syllables or given to or characterized by the use of big words. so i guess you would say im sesquipedalian especially because is just said sesquipedalian
Hey Ben (incase you ever read this again.)
Very cool, we need more 3rd hour people here and a few Gary's to start posting.
