Tuesday, July 7th


Our morning started with a visit to Broadview Thompson Elementary School. We were able to watch math and reading lessons with second and third grade students. We also went to another school and watched a teacher teaching Arabic to elementary students. I watched and listened as he reviewed the Arabic alphabet with his students. That might be where I need to start!

In the evening we headed to Lake Washington for sailing lessons. Again, the evening was beautiful with a slight breeze. The volunteer sailing instructor was a young man who was a graduate of the U and worked at Boeing as an engineer. His patience and expertise were needed to make novice sailors feel like old salts.
