Feeling a bit disconnected from my home today. Trying to establish routines for myself, so that not everything feels new. It was good to talk about 9/11 with people over here; I had started my student teaching at Bank Street the week before and the response of the Bank Street community, confirmed my desire to be a part of it.

Being outside with the children today was soothing. The wind was pretty strong on the mountain today. Lots of hooded jackets and jumpers, and squeals of, “Windy!”.

It is a city of barricades, fences, and walls.
Through a rainy window.
Looking for sheep, cows, donkeys, doggies, and blackberries.

I'm a special education preschool teacher in New York, lucky enough to be given a year of sabbatical. I'm heading to Belfast to learn from colleagues, and take it all back home with me. I also happen to have my dog with me.
