Ballet San Jose School Parent Observation Week
The Parent Observation Week at BSJS allows parents, relatives and friends of students at the Ballet San Jose School to observe a regular class. This is one of two opportunities through the year to observe students in class.
Class observation week was a time of great pride for the students as they’d worked hard over the past year to perfect their technique and show their skills to their parents and friends. They are now at a bridge to serious professional study. Two more years and they will be en-pointe. They are all eligible to audition for the Summer Intensive Camp in July. The audition will be on March 28, 2009.

After watching the Smuin Ballet perform at the Mountain View Center for Performing Arts (28 Feb 2009) , we were invited backstage by one of their prima ballerinas, Robin Cornwell. Then we all went to dinner with her. Wow, what an inspiration!
Project 6: “Electricity From The Sun”
Introduction:
You can get electricity from the sun using solar cells. That means it is possible to reduce greenhouse gas production by using electricity from sunlight. But many things can affect the amount of electricity from solar cells. Here are some things that will do that: trees, houses, clouds, time of year, and where you live in the world.

8th Birthday Party @ Malibu Grand Prix
8th birthday…so sweet and sassy.
“Sweet Jesus!”
AMS won a spa basket at the school raffle! The principal announced it on the school’s PA system and when she heard her name, she whooped it up and screamed! Her whole class screamed! The principal then asked her to come to the school office and claim her price – when she saw it, AMS yelled “Sweet Jesus!”. The principal and school staff got a huge kick out of it.
Halloween 2008 – Sayanta
This year, AMS made her Halloween costume as part of a project for school. She chose an Ohlone Native Girl costume. With some research, she was able to copy the style.
Of course, she had to wear the costume to the annual Halloween parade at school.

Project 4: Making Ohlone Native American Clothes
Indroduction:
Hi my name is Sayanta. I come from the village of Matalan. I speak Tamyen, a language of the Ohlone Native Americans. I am a very busy girl. The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is fetch water from the stream and fill the water basket in our tule hut. My parents tell me I was born nine seasons (years) ago. I will show you how to make clothes in the Ohlone style.
