We now need people to present their curriculum at the Fair or to do interactive workshops...the forms to do these are on our website (address below), and as we say every year, "presenting" your curriculum should not be a high-stress endeavor! Here is what the form on the website says:


"Have no Fear! We hope that this Curriculum Fair lets everyone share in a smorgasbord of ideas, rather than in elaborate presentations that take hours to create. If you have created, written and/or implemented teaching ideas in a classroom that you feel fall generally under the following italicized sub-categories (from TSJ's principles, please see website, address below), then please e-mail this form by November 1. We seek to promote participatory, critical, multicultural, anti-racist and pro-justice education and look forward to learning from your ideas! And we encourage you to co-present with your students."


SO WATCH FOR FURTHER INFO...THE NEXT EMAIL WILL HAVE THE NEXT PLANNING MEETING AND ALL THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE THIS THINGS A GREAT SUCCESS!


PS--the attached flyer is black and white...on the web site, shortly, will be both this flyer and the beautiful COLOR flyer as well (courtesy of Jesse Senechal!, our flyer artist!...and we may as well name Jody Foss, our web maven as well!)...so feel free to download these flyers, print, copy, and distribute like mad! And watch for upcoming info on getting beautiful 11" x 14" color POSTERS through the CPS mail run delivered to your school!
