Getting My Groove Back
I just want to thank all those folks who have been so supportive of the North Star Community site. The emails and calls have really helped. After the site was attacked late last year, it took the wind from my sails. It was a lot of work lost - and it took me a bit to get back into my groove.
But it’s notes like this that remind me that what we are doing - is helping make a difference even if in the smallest ways:
As I begin another school year I would like to thank you for putting into works and illustrations what I have believed my whole teaching life. I began this year again reading and or acting out depending on the grade The North Star Journey, using my Smartboard and your internet site. Vashti is on my board challenging students to make their marks. My boat for our Journey is on my south wall and the types of learners we are is waiting patiently on my east board.For the first time in my 52 years I have picked up a paintbrush and a water color set and have been trying this out. Thanks!!!!!!! for all that you do.

Let’s hoist these sails back up - and keep moving forward.

Paul,
It was so disappointing when the North Star Community site was hacked, after all that work… but I’m glad to know it could never crush our spirit. It’s important to remember that we ARE a community, and you’re alone in this. And, I think many of us are still all getting back into our groove.
This type of forum is a bit different than the message board we had established and many NS community members had posted on, so it might take a little while for everyone to get used to it - but you’ve taken the first steps, which is I know will get us all moving forward as we keep doing our North Star thing… continuing to shine that North Star light in the world.
I look forward to seeing the return of our fellow North Star Community members, and hearing what everyone has been up to!
