Have you ever wondered how an archer is able to aim their arrows “just right” in order to hit a target several (even hundreds) of meters away? Or, why soccer players kick the ball differently based on how far away they are from the goal? Both of these cases are examples of projectile motion- explained in detail by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century A.D.

Purpose:

For the coming school year I would like to go in depth about storytelling by having my students start to build on their story.

I would like to do this in order for them to get a better understanding of who they are and begin to appreciate/respect the difference in others. IMy hope is that in the process others will begin to understand that everyones story is unique and thereby acting on stories is irrespoonsible.

Objective:

These are the sites that I found on meditation, I hope you find them helpful.

Here is a website that I found to teach mediative breathing. I want to teach myself over the summer and then start teaching my students in September. I think the meditation will assist us in our academic and emotional journey. Meditation has been shown to improve concentration to help us academically. It has also been shown to assist in dealing with conflict. Click on to read more.
