JUGGLING!

This past Friday went out with a bang! Our circus artist, Kobi Shaw, treated our classroom to a fun afternoon of juggling.

Ms. Kobi started off by sharing the story of how she landed her first job juggling. It was quite entertaining to hear of her getting up in front of a crowd and dropping ball after ball after ball! She found that it took lots of practice and a “never give up” attitude to succeed.

She then gave us all the chance to practice a “never give up” attitude as we all learned to juggle! We began by throwing one scarf in the air and learning to catch the scarf in the air with our bear claws! She then challenged us to throw and catch two scarves in the air. It was a struggle for some students in the beginning. This led into a great discussion as they found that focus and listening were the keys to being successful.

The highlight of the day seemed to be seeing how far we could blow our scarves in the air! Ms. Kobi taught us how to place a scarf over our face and give it a blow! The scarves would shoot up and float down slowly. It was great fun challenging students to see who could get their scarf the highest! There were so many laughs, smiles, and positive comments made between everyone. It was a great way to end the week!

I can’t wait for our juggling adventures to continue next week with an added twist!
