This blog is meant to track my progress with my Integrated Studies Capstone project. My two emphases are Modern Dance and Physical Education. I have chosen to focus my studies on the idea that certain basic forms of movement patterning influence cognitive development in Elementary-school aged children.

Big Step
This week has been a pretty crazy one! My husband found out that he landed a job in Tuacahn which means that I will be living in St George from the beginning of May until December. Although this means that I will have to defer for a semester this will be an amazing opportunity for me to get observational experience for my capstone! Tuacahn Amphitheater is right next to Tuacahn High School of the Performing Arts. Many of the students that go to that high school have had the opportunity to grow up with movement being a huge part of their education and their lives. This week my main objective has been to see if there is any way that I could work around these students. Everything for this summer is still being planned out so they do not know what jobs are available but I hope to be able to apply for some soon.
