Mrs. Tsukamoto came to our class a few weeks ago and spoke to us about her time in the Internment Camps.  Although we had studied the Interment Camps, it was amazing to see her and hear her story.  We were touched by how her culture helped her through such a difficult time. It was hard for many of us to grasp the fact that she was not angry.

She shared many artifacts from her culture with us, but the one we were most impressed with was the Daruma.  This small doll refuses to be knocked over when it is pushed down.  We thought it would be fun to try and make our own to remind us to never be pushed down, and to always stay positive.
