<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those of you looking for a fun, engaging, very reasonably priced Professional Development workshop, with potential for PDPs and/or graduate credits, we have the PD workshop for you. We will be hosting
<i>Schooling with Whales</i> (course description is pasted below) on the weekend of March 7 and 8. The course is $50. The grad credit is $50, offered through Cambridge College.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The focus of the workshop is teachers of grades 3-6, but we’ve had teachers of other grades attend the workshop in the past. They have found it quite useful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also provide lots of beverages (hot and cold) and goodies for snacking during the workshop.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I realize that the snow has messed up everyone’s schedules, but if you can this workshop into your schedule, we’d love to have you join us. Due to space limitations, we limit the # of participants to 20.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please contact me directly if you have any questions. <o:p></o:p></p>

ways to use whales and their kin to teach food chains, math, geography, reading comprehension and taxonomy. You’ll leave with a packet of activities, links to useful web sites and a greater appreciation for whales, dolphins and porpoises.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
