The children had their school "Asia Festival" today; each of the four preschool classrooms had taken a separate country to study: Boo's class learned about China, while Skibo studied India.
Quite a charming event, and over the past few weeks, it has given LOML and me an ideal opportunity to learn a little more about these countries, and also to explore the new wealth of information just a click away: to think that even a year or two ago it would have been really difficult to do what youtube lets us do in an instant. It's symptomatic of the shifts that we've been seeing over the past decade or so: mosaic in 1994-1997 or so, google around 2000, blogs over the past few years, and now youtube. And of course, other shifts that I'm omitting!
Yours, thoroughly charmed by the kids,
N.
