national underground railroad freedom center, cincinnati OH


i have been working on the creation of a new social studies program which connects the outdoors with the grade three social studies early settlers unit and the new TDSB afrocentric doc.
in doing so i have been reading, attending and searching for as much information as possible
on a recent trip to the sunny south i stop at the freedom center in cincinnati ohio
a wonderful tribute to this historic and couragous story

toronto island


for three weeks i fled the city to my private island
well not just mine but manys
but with a strike that preventd the majority from joining us
it felt private
toronto's islands
some say toronto dosnt have a waterfront
we do
it is just a short ferry ride away
and there u will find beaches, parks, gardens and lighthouses
like the one pictured
my 'job'...drama mama at the island natural science school summer camp
delightful!
