This afternoon we had a wonderful time in the sun with our 25 Hong Kong trip members. Ms. Regan took us through two team building activities, and our HKers responded with enthusiasm and creativity!

SLC Schedule for Parents
I’m looking forward to seeing parents of my Homebase students at the upcoming Student Led Conferences on Thursday April 12 and Friday April 13. Once you’ve signed up via the 8th Grade Blog, I’ll add your student’s name to the calendar below to confirm your choice. Thanks for supporting your son/daughter by being part of this experience with them!

This field trip survey is for students on our upcoming China Alive trip to Hong Kong. Please don’t complete it unless you’re a verified member of the trip – we’ll be checking!
You need a VPN or to be on our SAS network to see the form!
Over the past few days we’ve had to make a few last minute adjustments to some of our China Alive trips. If you’re a member of our Hong Kong trip, then the news is that we won’t be able to take a flight out of Hong Kong at midday on Friday the 11th of May, as we can only get flights out of the city at 5:15pm.
As a result, we’ve been working very hard to create a new, exciting element of the Hong Kong trip for our students, and we are now very proud to announce that we’ve booked you in for a once in a lifetime experience at the Apple Store in Hong Kong to create digital narratives of your experience in Hong Kong. We would like to thank our friends at Apple who have made this possible – they’re going to be giving each participant a free T-shirt, and they’re going to be personally training you in some very exciting new technologies. Stay tuned, Hong Kong trip members – we’ll be collecting your US T-shirt sizes right after the break. This experience is going to be awesome, and we’re so excited that you’re part of this!
I wish you all a wonderful spring vacation, and how about we all set ourselves a goal to read at least one book during the vacation? My goal is to finish Piracy: The Intellectual Property Wars from Gutenburg to Gates, and The Information Diet: A Case for Conscious Consumption. What are you going to read? I’ll be reading on my iPad up in Shiduzhen, which is just southwest of Beijing. Check out the map below – maybe you’ll be able to spot me on satellite view during the vacation!
When we return on April 9, my ESOL classes are going to be working on updating their wiki portfolios, and we’re also going to take a look at your iWeb preparation for SLCs.
You may ask, “What’s happening in Homebase, Mr. Chambers?”, but my response is highly likely to be, “Check the calendar!” Have you bookmarked the Homebase calendar yet? Seriously, you should do that.
Have a great vacation. Go outside and soak up some sun!

We’re currently having a fantastic time in our new “eBook Authors” elective. Last week we started to distribute tasks across the group, and this week we’re going to go through the process of looking at master plans and schedules for a deadlined project. In order to achieve our goals, we’re creating some new calendaring and collaboration systems, and this afternoon we’re launching our new eBook Authors Wiki. Stay tuned for more exciting progress from SAS’s new team of eBook authors! Team members, please go to the eBook Authors Wiki now to sign up so that you can collaborate with us online.
