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. 
i really had fun doing the dolls and they turned out wonderful
that project we made was cool!!!
wow! i love the project that we did because i think that it is pretty cool.
It’s very exciting to see how you have taken Ms. Tsukamoto’s visit and expanded on her story. As I passed through your classroom this afternoon and listened in on different discussions, I was struck by how empowering it must be to you as a class to realize that you have a growing audience interested in what you are producing.
Good job, Change Writers!
