ALA Day 1 -- Jonathon

The kids from ALA came today from 1 to 3 pm. Good to see them all. Excellent positives on the say included the interest in the kids about the animation movies we made over the summer, as well as the instruments and the scratch animation film. interesting issues seem to arise when we start dealing with Microworlds. The kids seem to need to get back involved and do mroe programming to stay interested in the game writing and the storytelling with the Microworlds technology. We have some incredibly creative young men and women. WE need to work on channeling their nervous energy. We will continue to plan for the upcoming days where we willbe focusing their energies on mindfest events and activities. Tomorrow will be PANTHER club day. Saafir will take the machines to PANTHER - Bill, Megan, and Jonathon will go to the club tomorrow at about 3:30 and set up for the same intro day as we did with the ALA kids. Saafir will show up around 5:30 after his schooling. THe same activities are planned - summer institute pictures, games, movies, scratch animation, and instruments.
