first off, i commend jessica (founder and main teacher of freeschool) for her energy and enthusiasm around community based education. i love the idea of learning from my neighbor : )

the talk itself on bees, was a good way to get an overhead view of the long list of things i have yet to learn about bees and the equipment, tools and materials i'll need to get started.

she provided us with references for websites, books and beekeeping societies. she also gave us plenty of hands on time with the equipment and allowed us to ask questions.

i left really excited and interested in learning more about bees and beekeeping! yum honey!!

i've been looking for the right place to offer some after school study and tutoring help with my daughter. i found my dream come true with baker language and learning.

the owner, amy, who is also my daughter's math tutor is wonderful. she has inspired my kid through positive re-inforcement and praise. my daughter's esteem has risen as a result, and her interest in math with it.

in addition, amy is teaching her organization and study skills. AND she has opened her doors for after-school study hall for a low fee.

its amazing to me that with a little positive attention and focused feedback, my kid is now doing really well in math!

i recommend amy and her center with the highest regard.

so this class rocks! in a short 6 weeks, i was able to create steel sculptures for my garden. i never realized how easy it could be to heat, cut and mold metal to my liking. suddenly metal flowers, trees and ornaments were hanging all over my garden.. night stand? no problem..arch for my garden walk..even easier.

the facilities are excellent with all the equipment and material you'd need to get started.

no really. its been awhile since i took this class, but i fell in love with hot glass.

my instructor, jeanne ferraro while strict was very good at her work and very good at teaching us basics, safety and moving on to more advanced works.

i left the class with my share of coffee cups and vases : )

their facilities are excellent! i highly recommend this class and pratt!

i've tried alot of yoga studios around town, and the thing that sets this studio apart is the attitude of the teachers. In one word-loving.

and i don't mean in a hippy dippy sort of way. i mean they support and welcome all students regardless of their physique, their physical ability or their athleticism. this is a place where its ok to not do a pose perfectly--the focus in on the trying and acceptance of where one is in their life and body at that moment.

this doesn't mean they can't challenge the advanced yogini too though, they just don't place the focus on this.

what else is wonderful about samarya: they're a nonprofit with the cheapest classes in town, $8 people!

this class is perfect for those pack rat types! i'd been interested in this medium for awhile just based on the 3 dimensional collage-y nature of the work. what i didn't think about was that this medium requires lots of cool stuff to put in your boxes!

i was joined in my class with about 7 other women, who came burdened with boxes and boxes of STUFF. really cool stuff. i didn't have much really cool stuff but i still loved the class. i left after the first day and ran to goodwill so i could find more stuff for my boxes.

that said, the class was a perfect format for what we needed to learn that weekend. with only a little bit of lecture and mostly hands-on, the teacher provided lots of supplies to help us get started right in hour 3 of the weekend.

the only thing i might change would be to stretch this over 2 weekends, so i have a week to gather more stuff!!
