Greetings Everyone,
The Session 1 Electives Fair was electric. We started out with our Annual Teacher /Student Basketball Game.
Basketball Elective with Coach Craig
The game was back and forth and very dynamic. You can easily tell that the Basketball elective students were well versed in the fundamentals of the game. Great job to Coach Craig in teaching our students how to ball. They not only played well physically but you knew there minds took the game to a whole other level of excitement.
Movement Games Elective with Miri
In the Movement Games Elective the students shared about their experiences in their class. They loved the guided meditation that Miri gave. They also enjoyed the games that Miri taught them. Her games incorporate movement which keep the students engaged and enthusiastic about participating in this class. Students also got to share and create their own games.
House of Iron Elective with Sarah Johnston of Asheville Crossfit

Giles has been working with his students on the elements of dance and movement. They’ve been learning to travel on a path while using movements like undulation, slow-motion, underwater and choppy. They have lots of fun being challenged to create pieces for each other and perform them. The students watching get to guess what type of movement like undulating or choppy and what type of path; i.e. curvy, straight, or zigzag. Thanks Giles for a fun challenge that helps us learn expression through movement.

The K2 Movement Special with Melissa do many fun activities in their quest to learn about movement concepts. They have created a choreographed piece by connecting movements to each of their names. They also do musical line movements following the instructions that Melissa W. Gives. They have most fun doing it all to great music. Thank you Melissa W.

In Movement with Giles students are creating a choreographed path that highlights the element of line. Students will utilize different types of lines in their pieces. For example curved lines, zig zags, spirals, straight, and wavy just to name a few.
Students had fun showing their interesting pathways.
Thanks Giles and Anomaly!
