Can't wait to learn more about Tomekichi Homma, the person, at tomorrow's Heritage Fair. Who was he? Why was our school named after him? #bced #sd38learn @homma_school

Author and Illustrator Jeff Chiba Stearns gave workshops for our intermediate classes this week. We learned about the Japanese internment during WWII and looked more closely at the graphic novel On Being Yukiko. https://t.co/6AkJP7vzxt #rtla38 #bced

We had an amazing author visit by Jeff Chiba Stearns today! Stearns' books invite conversations about identity. His workshop inspires creativity! #sd38learn #rtla38 #bced

#rtla38 Can you see the original design (by one of our K students) and the 3D stuffie version made by an upper intermediate student? Lots of work and problem solving required!
