Whoo! Monday goes by so quickly I can hardly remember what we did. Seems that everyone had a little extra sugar in the cereal today. I suspect we were all just happy to see each other after the weekend. 6S did a great job today listening to Coach Nick talk about his experience as a migrant worker. I was impressed by your notetaking and great questions! We'll be talking more about migrant farmworkers this week as well as putting together some of the information we've found out about family and conventional farms.

Don't be shy about posting comments here. So far only a few have done it, but it's been great to know that you are using the info here. Also, I don't want to be the only voice on this blog. Type, if you've got something to say!
