Quote of the week:

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. - Harriet Tubman

This week we talked about what it takes to make our dreams become realities and how they could help the world. We are taking the needed steps to manifest our visions!

Tuesday we started our day doing Acroyoga with Mateo (http://www.playfulwarrioryoga.com/)! We worked on writing and illustrating our very own children's stories in creative writing with Adam! We are close to getting them into hardback books. We also learned about haiku's and some of us are even writing a play for our Halloween Carnival. In Story of the Universe with Michael and Caroline, we did "the dance of the molecules" and learned about different states of water. The Bluejays (our 5-7 year olds) also made puppets with Popsicle sticks.

Wednesday we started our day learning about Capoeira with Michael, an Afro-Brazilian martial art and dance. We learned how to play the instruments and the first basic steps. We planned a budget for our Halloween Carnival and practiced our multiplication and division in our business class with Adam. In our "Jedi Training" (Awareness through the Body) with Margo we worked on our awareness through the sense of touch with balloons. The Bluejays also worked on paper crafts and created owls and jack-o-lanterns for our Halloween Carnival decorations.

Thursday we started our day with Rhythm Gym (http://www.bal-a-vis-x.com/) and jump roping games! We had a fun rainy day indoor game time. We followed our inspiration after the rain with Captain Tyne floating his boat creation down a rain gully! In One World India with Caroline (One World Permaculture) we wrote letters to the kids at the Bhatti Mines School in India (Amala Foundation) . We also designed two murals! One we will send to the school in India, the other we will hang at our new school space when we move in there in November. We are excited to be creating a bridge between our communities!

Full Moon Showcase!

Today we had our first full moon showcase!
For the Full Moon Showcase people got to sign up to share a talent or skill or project that they have been working on. It was really fun to perform/show. We had acrobatics, comedy, singing, drawings, juggling, and some amazing crafts!
