STACY UYEDA Every year, my husband, Tony, and I make a different holiday card. Notice Grumble and Psi, the parachuting ratties, of 2001! A LITTLE BACKGROUND I am the Teacher Librarian at Willard Middle School in Berkeley. This is a new and exciting position for me, as I have been a seventh grade humanities teacher there for six years. Our library was the "forgotten land," a place where no one -- student or teacher -- wanted to go. It has been very refreshing this year to have worked to transform the library into a very popular and high-traffic zone. I have had the wonderful opportunity to plan and teach with teachers across the curricula, as well as to coordinate school-wide activities, such as doll-making workshops and the creation of an Underground Railroad school quilt! See my humble, beginner's library website at www.geocities.com/willardlibrary! http://www.geocities.com/willardlibrary When I'm not teaching and library-ing, I love to spend time with my husband, Tony, and two pet rats, Grumble and Psi. I love animals, cooking, reading, movies, and volcanoes. During the winter break, Tony and I hiked in the Yosemite Valley. After a series of amazing hikes to Yosemite Falls and Mirror Lake, we both had strange dreams about intruders entering our lodge room. Here are some connections to great BAWP folk: Evan and I were in the 2000 Summer Institute together; we all called it "Camp BAWP." Please check out his website for beatific photographs of his beautiful baby daughter! Carol and I share many common experiences and laughs over our Japanese American heritage. Claire and E'leva have a true virtual connection. Through Claire's super professional weblog, I was able to connect to E'leva's beautiful and impressive career outlook!
