We will be watching a play this morning. I watched it last year, at Alexander Muir/Gladstone, I enjoyed it and related to it as someone who moves about the world very quickly. Here is the synopsis, from the website:
SYNOPSIS: Jamie Cavanaugh has a problem. She’s always going too fast. “Slow down!” say her parents. “Pay attention!” says the teacher; but Jamie just can’t calm down or stay focused. The Incredible Speediness of Jamie Cavanaugh explores, with humour, insight and compassion, the hurt and confusion of being different when you can’t help it, and the challenges of being the target of school yard bullying. The hero of this remarkable play is a positive role model for young people with ADHD or other learning challenges.

A collection of collages, which are almost done.
Because of the shortened last week, we did not have our Orff class. Orff serves as our Music program for this school year. I love music, but not always the best with keeping rhythm. I can see how this program will develop a sense of patterning and listening that extends beyond what we think of music. Before this afternoon's class, we will do some practicing today.
This is not our class.
This is our class, practicing in Gym and a smaller group, performing in Orrf.
