I have wonderful news! Well, I think it's wonderful because I've been neurotically checking my email for the last few days and this saves me the work of finding some other venue- the University of Washington Comparative History of Ideas program (which I graduated from), is willing to host my class on Transition as a response to climate change and peak oil. I'll go on the schedule for Spring quarter which starts at the end of March, and my class will run all quarter, two hours each Friday evening. I'm really excited, because the adviser I talked to was happy with my idea to extend invitations to the community for free, but students at UW can receive 2 credits for the course. Kevin has been really supportive of my interest in teaching on this subject, and he'll be able to take the class.
For anyone around here, I'll keep you updated on the times and location, and I may try to record at least some of the activities and make it available online as well.
Also fun and cool; today I'm lead-teaching the three year old class-room at my school. I'm halfway through the day now and it went pretty well through the morning. We had a cooking project where the kids cut up and added ingredients for Purple Soup, in honor of Valentine's Day- it included a red cabbage, a red onion, a beet, a turnip, and three red potatoes. It's crock-potting now and looks pretty good to me. We'll see if it passes the kid's taste test at snack.
