The day starts with a teacher's meeting before school. We discuss how taking activity breaks in the classroom throughout the school day can be good for student health, academics, and behavior. We point out how safe juggling can be, how easy it is to implement the program, and how much the students love the skill progressions. Then every teacher learns to juggle with slow-moviing nylon scarves. |
 |
Throughout the school day teachers bring students to the gym or cafeteria one grade level at a time. Teachers stay so they will get a chance to see their students as kinesthetic learners. Every student in the school learns to juggle at an appropriate level of ability. |
 |
All day student names go up on a big wall chart with numerous achievement levels. By the end of the day every student and every teacher has their name somewhere on this Wall of Fame. |
 |
The last hour of the school day is saved for an exciting all-school assembly. Students get up and perform one grade level at a time. Older students may move on to beanbags, balls, rings or even clubs. Your Juggling for Success consultants will be the Master of Ceremonies at the show and perform as well. |
 |
That same evening we hold Family Juggling Night. First students perform, then they teach their parents to juggle. Then parents perform and students cheer them on from their seats on the floor. Your consultant performs to close the show. |
 |
After the show, parents can also put their names on the Wall of Fame. This chart becomes the motor for the ongoing program for the entire school. |
 |
With the help of someone from your school, juggling equipment can be sold for a few weeks to interested families. Proceeds from these sales helps fund the program or help your school purchase juggling equipment. |
