November Field Trips and The Comedy of Errors

10/22/2011

Well, we made it to both libraries, both days. A huge thank you to the parent drivers who made it possible. And a huge thank you to the Kitsap Regional librarians at the Poulsbo and Sylvan Way branches who worked early--before the libraries opened to the public--to enrich the education of our children.  

It was a scramble, though, trying to line up enough last minute drivers each day, which meant I was working late into the night before each trip trying to organize all the details. I've decided I can't keep doing that, so I am going to institute "drop dead" dates for the November trips. I need drivers for 60 for Seattle on November 10. If I don't have enough parents signed up to drive by November 4, I will cancel the trip.

We will take a bus for the University of Washington trip on November 21, so we don't need drivers. However, we still need adults--one per group. Groups, you need to meet NOW to determine who the responsible adult chaperone will be for your group for that trip. Most often it is a parent although sometimes a grandparent or some other relative comes along. Again, if I don't have enough chaperones signed up to accompany us by November 14, I will cancel the trip.

I don't want to be mean about this, I just want to be able to get a good night's sleep. Especially before a field trip!

Still reminding everyone:
I told students they would need their own copies of Comedy of Errors by Halloween. Here is the link again:
http://www.amazon.com/Comedy-Errors-Folger-Shakespeare-Library/dp/0743484886/ref=wl_mb_swf_hu_c_1_dp.
If you can't afford to buy the book, let me know. I will see about getting a copy ordered through the AGATE program or the PMS library or the PTA.

    From Education Week--According to the latest research, the two best predictors of college success are not grades and intellectual ability. Number one is “conscientiousness” (dependability, perseverance, work ethic). Number two is “agreeableness” (interpersonal skills, getting along with other people, working well in groups).

    From what I’ve observed, I would say the same is true for life after college—jobs and careers, marriage and family life. Success comes more easily for people who are willing to work hard and who are able to cooperate with other people.
