1. Growing a Wild NYC Webinar Powerpoint for Telspan viewing

2. During the webinar we’re going to:  Give a status update on Year 2 including showing photos of some field visits.  Get feedback from teachers on how they’re doing/what they need, particularly ask if anyone has been doing growing experiments and, if not, suggest things they can do as far as those experiments go.  Discuss next steps – preparing for January 2016 classroom visits. Discuss W-9s if we’re still missing forms and $250 stipend. I will prepare SignUp Genius for January visits once we get spreadsheet about staff from Jeanette.  I think it would be good to prepare and share a linear calendar/timeline of upcoming activities for the program that we can share via Telspan (add/edit as you like – the more specific we can get, the better).

3. Status update on Year 2  Dan, you can explain what you’ve been doing with the kids and talk about the phenological data collection and the status and next steps for those?  Field Trip photos: Preview PS 686 photos https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMIP vjVx4IYAejHQvN8FitOwvilvRwPVr1Vz6uoi3UX8a acB- JDuGsaNJEYOKAOFA?key=aWRWLXM4T2c1c Gg0eU41bUtQNVpNeHhtRUg5TVZR https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMIP vjVx4IYAejHQvN8FitOwvilvRwPVr1Vz6uoi3UX8a acB- JDuGsaNJEYOKAOFA?key=aWRWLXM4T2c1c Gg0eU41bUtQNVpNeHhtRUg5TVZR
