Inexpensive Training Opportunity and News

Good Afternoon All!

We are please to announce several new adventures that have presented themselves.

1. We will present at the Chautauqua County Association for the Education of Young Children this fall. October 23 at SUNY Fredonia McEwen Hall. Topic- Character Education: What Is It? How Do You Do It? Why Is It Important?
As Early Childhood Educators we are faced with many challenges and charged with many duties, one of which is helping children to become successful citizens and life long learners. In this workshop we will define what character education is, give examples of activities and classroom learning centers to help cultivate character and why it is so important to include character education as part of your curriculum.

Cost is $10 for members and $15 for Non Members. I am checking on the times, but it is generally 8-1, with a keynote address and several sessions after the keynote.

2. A dear friend and great supporter of our work has joined our team, her name is Alyce Thorp. Alyce lives in Buffalo, has her masters in library science, and is a true believer in our cause. She will join us for trainings and workshops as her schedule allows.

3. At this time, I am in the process of opening a small school. As you may know, the Rainbow Farm School wasn't able to open and run at this time, however, the dream is still alive. Alyce plans to join me in opening a small Montessori based school. I am hoping to take the teacher certification program soon so that I have the knowledge and understanding to create a Montessori based school in the area. If you are interested in receiving more information or to be kept in the loop, please email taverna@moonandme.com. I hope to be open and running by 2012 at the latest.

Personally, I feel very blessed to part of such a wonderful organization. And as a group, I know I speak for the rest of the team when I say Thank You for your Support!
