A Busy Day 2 in Boston!!

Hello 3E,
I had another really busy day in Bean Town today. We started our day with a wonderful speaker. His name was Tarun Tejpal. He thinks that everyone needs love and laughter in their life. With those two things...anything is possible. We all need to remember that children flourish as much as they can!! I know YOU all do!! The message that we have gotten throughout our time in Boston is "learning from the past and leading for the future."
We saw the boys chorus from the Hillside School in Massachusetts sing a song that they wrote. They made CD's to raise money for a school in Kenya, Africa. They were TERRIFIC!! I bought their CD, so I will play the song they sang for all of you.
Then we went to a workshop where we learned ways to make our school a better place. I was in the meeting with Ms. Smith-Willis, Mr. Buckley, Mr. Conard, and Mr. Corvino. It was very good.
Ms. Smith Willis and I have to stay up very late tonight to pick up the students from their celebration. They have all worked very hard...and will lead a workshop for all the teachers tomorrow. I will tell you more about that later.
I miss you all. I hope you all remembered to dress down today...and that you had a GREAT day!! I will see you on Monday.
Hugs,
Mrs. Euwer :-)
