hiatus. I know that you all have something interesting to share --read on to learn more.
In addition, we have a number of fun activities planned in the next few months, including the potluck "Fishnic," a special trip to the American Museum of Natural History, and our holiday lecture and gathering. We hope to "see" you, either virtually or in person, at one of our events!

Let's get some NY talent on local TV!
A producer at WNET (Channel Thirteen) in New York, is looking for teachers to feature in a series of short educational videos called Great Lesson Ideas. These documentary programswill air on WNET, the New York PBS affiliate, and will stream on the Teaching Channel website (www.teachingchannel.org), a Gates Foundation funded educational resource. For each piece, they will film with a teacher who is incorporating the new Common Core Standards in their lessons and doing so in an innovative and inspiring way. She is looking for science and social studies teachers who are working with the new standards for literacy in their classrooms. Each piece will be 5 minutes long and will feature an interview with the teacher and scenes from one exemplary lesson. Filming will take place over a few hours and should be minimally invasive to the classroom activity. Here are a few examples of similar programming from the Teaching Channel: http://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/hook-stations?fd=0
