Hi Lisa,
I hope this email finds you well! I wanted to invite your class to come
see the Raging Grannies at our International Women's Day event at Women
and Gender Studies at U of T. A grade 6 class from Huron is also
invited. Its in the evening, so it probably can't be a field trip. But I
am happy to "chaperon" if students want to come to this. Of course, you
are welcome too. I think there is singing involved!

I also got an interesting invitation from Darren O'Donnell, whose recent projects include Haircuts by Children, to get kids to take part in a new show he's working on called "Monster Makers". He's running several free hour long workshops at Harbourfront on February 27th, if you want to get involved. Here's the link to the facebook invite page:

In other news, we're filming on Tuesday (I have confirmations from two parents helping out but would love to pin down two more for sure) and reports go home on that day as well. Confirmation of interview times will go home with reports.
The new pacing has been a bit tricky to adjust to this year, but when I look back over our year, I'm astonished and pleased at all the growth I've seen in the students. So many great experiences together already! and so many more to look forward to.
