Three Ring Circus class at COCA

Brady has been taking a class at the Center of Creative Arts in U City. It's called "Three Ring Circus" and his teacher (shown here) Mr. Josh, is a real life CLOWN! He actually owns a theater/production company that puts on shows and hires out performers for all kinds of events. Brady was lucky enough to get to take his class. They have learned all sorts of things in his class like walking on a tight rope, balancing on a ball, barking like a seal while balancing a ring on your nose (the kids really liked the barking part), and even walking on stilts. Brady's favorite part of class was swinging on the trapeze! This is just one picture I took at his last class today. It was hard to get good ones as he was running from one activity to another. I was glad he got to take this class! I found out that Mr. Josh also teaches a Circus summer camp class for COCA - I think we will have to check that one out!

Project 5 Task 1

 What are the benefits of blogging for students?  There are many benefits of blogging for students. Students can use blogging to express what they have learned about a specific topic in the classroom. For example, students have been learning about marine animals in science class. Students have been following the nesting of sea turtles in Hilton Head Island. They have each chosen a nest and have been following it on their website. Every few days, students read the progress of the nest online and then create a blog post on what they read and include images to share with their classmates.  Another benefit to students blogging is for them to be able to express themselves creatively. Students can create a weekly poem blog post where they find a poem they like, copy it to their blog post (citing the author and resource where they found it) and then summarize the poem and write about why they chose it and what they liked most about it.  Click the link below to access the Pr...

12 Days of Pinterest: Day 8

Day 8: 12/17/12 Ok, so I apologize for the break in my "12 days of Pinterest" posts. My parents were in from Ohio the last 5 days and we were busy celebrating Christmas (early) and doing all the St. Louis holiday things there are to do (lights, train displays, Christmas concerts....you know!). Today I am doing a something that when I saw it on Pinterest - I knew I HAD to do it! We have a ton of ornaments. They are currently on our tree (duh) but when they are in storage the other 11 months of the year, they are kept wrapped in tatty tissue paper in shirt boxes that are falling apart. Every year I say "I am going to get one of those "ornament organizers" (the ones you see at Target and Home Depot)....and every year when I go to buy one, I go into sticker shock! How can a piece of plastic that holds 12 ornaments be $20! Of course we have more than a dozen ornaments, so I went on a hunt for something cheaper! Here it is! It cost me $2.50 to make. I used cardboa...
