Topanga Elementary School
Testimonials from teachers - October 2004

“Our entire staff connected with our rhythm and tempo. I even felt my energy and interest in my reading aloud grow. My reading was improved. We all need to continue to find more opportunities to teach from our zone!”

L.J. (principal)


“We all have a really primal, organic relationship with rhythm that we tend to forget about during the work day (heartbeat, penstalsis, eyeblinks, etc.) This was a great reminder of the power of rhythm, and how it helps to shut off the “internal dialogue: and let us be in the moment..”

G.B.


“I really enjoyed this and hope they understand your message. The message I heard is trusting in the teaching and learning and removing the pressure and being into the teaching. Great Job!”

Jan


“I felt so good to know that I know that I know and can access my rhythm. It was powerful and slow.”

A.B.


“The activities are an engaging way to help the individual “own” themselves. I found the rhythms soothing and relaxing and was able to focus inward. Thanks for sharing your techniques”

M.G.


“This is a great venue to express the collective being of all and to bring it in the class and to provide a tool for us to use.”
