This weekend, Bryan comes! We go to the beach. - Leslie and Bryan cook
They miss the kitchen! With one set of camp silverware and one set of camp pans, Leslie and Bryan valiantly attempt a meal in Leslie's pittance of a kitchen. It turns out marvelously. Mom's spaghetti sauce--always the inaugural meal. - Le
Le, one of the members of my 12-person CMA group (don't even try keeping all the groups straight). She's eating lunch during one of our "synthesis sessions" that take place when teaching ends every day. - Hannah
Hannah, another bound for the Bay Area, sitting on my bed. Note the familiar sarong on the wall. That thing has 1001 uses. - Friday afternoon

Until the TFA staff has something else fairly ridiculous for us to do. - Friday afternoon 2

Again. - CS session 3
Lots of group work. Lots of posters. - CS session 2
All the teachers now in class. During the morning when we're not teaching and all afternoon, we teachers become students again. Usually pretty bad ones. There's this decompressing period after you walk out of the classroom during which we are, for all intents and purposes, 13 years old ourselves. - Bryan photo

The box, nearly full. George himself did not eventually end up inside (but we could have fit him).
