Day 2 - Bansho and Boston


Today we worked with year-specific teachers to further develop their understanding of Bansho.  As a team of 6 teachers, we developed a lesson for the class, went into the classroom to work with students and then came back together to discuss what our next steps could be. We forgot to take pictures (!!!) but will get some in-class shots tomorrow.

After school, David and his wife Julie, took us in to experience Boston. You'll see the Boston Stump which is the church that David and Julie were married in.  It's called the Boston Stump because they were to build the steeple to be higher than it is, but stopped construction early (ran out of money??) and left it short -- forever leaving it with the nickname, the Boston Stump.

Boston has a very high population of Polish people. The streets are narrow and the buildings are very historic. Beside the church was a building for sale that had thick mortar and wood walls that looked like you could tip it over. We ended the evening by having dinner at the "Bombay Brasserie" which was the most amazing Indian restaurant ever!  The employees of the restaurant wanted to take a picture of the nice Canadians who came to visit their restaurant --- we're going to be on his blog somewhere in cyber space :)
