Welcome back. Whether you were globetrotting or kicking it back in front of the new Star Wars movie, I hope it was a happy, relaxing holiday. It’s Fort Ross prep month, we are beginning a semester-long marine biology unit, another round of literature circles start tomorrow, and we are publishing persuasive essays in our next Chanterelle this month. Look forward to lots of related curriculum. Also, teachers will have their heads down in progress report writing the next few weeks.
We do a watershed restoration project next Wednesday at Muir Beach, and we need some more drivers/chaperones. Please sign up here if you can join us.
Three amazing days at Esalen for a solstice meditation retreat were the highlight of my break.
