Cheerleading Update

The cheerleading squad is going very well. We have a full routine, we have bonded as a team, and we have made significant progress. There are ten days until we leave for Daytona and I am very excited. We're not consistent yet, our performances go back and forth, good and bad, but we've managed to have more good than bad. We are improving and hopefully in the next ten days, we'll be able to become consistent.

We don't have music yet which is really important for me. I can follow the routine better if I know the music that goes with each part. Also, I'm not very good at dancing and having the music to lead me through the movements make the dance easier on me. I'm definitely looking forward to having music and will listen to it over and over so I have a good hold on it.

We set a date for our exhibition for the university. It is:

  • Monday, April 7 from 8 to 9pm in Jervey

I'm really excited and I hope lots of people come to cheer us on!!! It makes it much easier to perform when there are people cheering us on, so the more the merrier!

Class Presentations

I thought that almost all the presentations that we saw in class were interesting. The topics were all things that the presenters were really interested in. When someone really loves what they are talking about, it makes it that much more interesting to listen to.

I'd have to say that my favorite presenter was Leigh. She did a presentation on elementary education and the different stragedies that they use to decide how children learn and the best way to teach them. I thought it was a really good presentation because she got the audience involved and excited to see if they were left or right brained or how we learn. As a member of the audience, I had fun doing the different tests hearing what they said about my personality and also, if they were correct. I also liked it because my sister is a third grade teacher and the things Leigh talked about were techniques that my sister uses every year to help her children, the future generations, learn.
