Wow! What a week it has been.

We have been busy looking for journals, articles, new paper stories and much more! It seems as we begin to look at child friendly cities that a hole opens up that we are tumbling through and several hours have passed. I have realized that many of the studies, or closer looks at child friendly cities have been heavily focused in the UK. Check out some of the notes from webinars we have attended to get an idea.

While this is just the beginning of the research and literature we will be looking at, I have a feeling that we definitely are not done yet. I am okay with that, the more we research, the more we learn. Not only are we able to share the wealth of knowledge we find with our partners in Chandigarh but it is something that we can bring to the classroom. We can apply the lens of a child friendly city in our classrooms and see what the next generation of children have to say.

Though this week has come with its challenges as well. We are creeping up to the half way mark in the semester and everything else is ramping up as well. I have found that this week has been full of zoom webinars and meetings and I am looking forward to the weekend with a little less screen time. Virtual everything is challenging at times, but I am going to take that as a sign to get out and explore my city more.

Not only have I been looking in articles, but out of a random conversation the three of us had I am now looking into podcasts that we can link here. Hopefully all of the videos, podcasts, and webinar notes help any future teachers who stumble across our blog later.

Stay tuned for what Missy and Casandra have been up to!
