New and exciting in my life and at Glenview

Let's start with me. My wife and I are taking part in the Riverdale Art Show 2007 this weekend. 6pm - 8pm October 19th, 10:30am - 5:30pm October 20th (Danforth and Hampton) Please come and bring a few friends. The opening is Friday night (free wine and snacks!!)

We are showing some of our photographs in a show primarily for painters. Yes, I know somewhat ill-placed but a show none the less. It should be really good though and we are hoping to sell a few prints. It is only our second show this year but is another opportunity to get our artwork out there.

At the school the days pass so fast. Already we are closing in on the end of first term. Within a few weeks the grade 7's will start their bridge building project soon and the grade 8's start their gripper building project. I get the sense that both grades are excited about the projects and I think I will have as much fun as they will. It represents an opportunity for my students to build structures and fluid controlled devices and I am looking forward to the experience. It will be the first year we have actually made testable devices in all my years at Glenview.

Parents: I am still looking for parents who would like to come in and speak to all my classes. I would like to hear from anyone who uses either Math or Science in their lives and would like to share that love with students. I am trying to increase career awareness in the classroom and well, since my career is already in the classroom, I need help from the outside. Please contact me at the school if you are interested or email me at daniel.foster2@tel.tdsb.on.ca.

Have a great time until I write next.
