Good afternoon all of you wonderful teachers,

It has been almost a month since we were together in Ha'ikū for the Geo-Inquiry Workshop with National Geographic, and I wanted to reach out to each of you to let you know that I had a wonderful time meeting you all, and sharing what I saw (and still see) a great experience for everyone involved. I hope there are more opportunities for us to work together in the future.

I was hoping I could send you just a few questions to ask about your impressions and lingering thoughts after that workshop, and also to get to know more about how you're integrating some of what you've learned. Some of you have reached out to us privately, but I wanted to ask each of you the same five questions so I can get a group of responses. Feel free to respond below each question in the body of an email. Whatever is easiest for you.

1. What are three new things you learned at this workshop?

2. What have you applied to the classroom? Or, what do you plan on applying to the classroom?

3. In what ways did the workshop impact you personally and/or professionally?

4. If you haven't answered this already, how will you include W.S. Merwin's story and the story of The Merwin Conservancy in your classroom curriculum?

5. What are ways that The Merwin Conservancy can further engage with you, your class, or your school?

Thank you again for allowing me a wonderful reason to bring visitors to the Merwin Palm Forest. It was an honor to share the story, the place, the poems, and the legacy with you.

Aloha and a hui hou,

Sara
