Juggling -Ian

JUGGLING


An amazing unit had happened at Glenridge Elementary School in early October where students got to learn how to juggle.  They  started with scarves and now they juggle with cubes.  Liam Ferguson said “Juggling is fun and it grows your mindset!”  Ceci said “They grade you on talent which isn't fair because some kids don’t have a good talent in juggling.”

Other kids who didn’t get it as well probably didn’t like it or just not as much.  This unit has been going on for a week in October and the teachers showed videos and also showed how to juggle themselves.  You need a lot of hand eye coordination ability to be able to do this.  A lot of kids had trouble doing it. There was definitely a lot of frustration.  Evan said “Scarves are the hardest because they all wad up and get in your face.”  The whole school did this and only the 5th graders got to use cubes.  This will happen next year as well.  But 5th graders are leaving so they won’t be doing it.

  1. Thanks for using my quoit!!! I think you did a great job showing both sides of the story. I really like the ending where you were explaining how fifth graders felt about going to Wydown. Did you like juggling? If so Did you like scarfs or spears better?
