Just a note to say...

Manzanar: Day Two

Here are the last of the photos from our trip. We spend the morning exploring Manzanar and taking pictures for the photo journals. After a quick lunch, we should be on our way home shortly.

Breakfast by the mountain

Soon we will be off back at the relocation center to let the 6th graders work on their photo journalism.

Manzanar: an end to Day One

Thus ends another wonderful day of learning on a 6th grade field trip. Today we visited Manzanar relocation center, located near Lone Pine, CA. Today we explored the relocation center and saw the result of how one foolish decision can affect generations of people. Lives were turned upside down overnight simply out of fear, prejudice and ignorance. People like us caused these things to transpire, and it is our duty to protect future generations from being put in or causing such things to happen. It starts small; an offhand comment, a silly prank, and can become something much more harmful. Think about it. How can you be the bigger person? The challenge is to set an example and show the rest of the school that although you are older, you still want to love and respect them. Please think about it.
