March Meeting

Greetings, friends!

You should have received an agenda for the March meeting from me via email.  Here are links to the protocols you'll need Wed. at 3:30 in the DVR:

ATLAS Protocol for Learning From Student Work
Probing Questions Exercise
Touchstones

And after looking over my CFG posts this year I realized I must apologize for the shocking lack of poetry!  Here is one I hope speaks to you in this springtime, right before a pause to slow down, and in the time of the year we've looked at our children long:

To Look at Any Thing
by John Moffitt

To look at any thing,
If you would know that thing,
You must look at it long:
To look at this green and say,
'I have seen spring in these 
Woods,' will not do--you must
Be the thing you see:
You must be the dark snakes of
Stems and ferny plumes of leaves,
You must enter in
To the small silences between
The leaves,
You must take your time
And touch the very peace
They issue from.
