Troy Brain and Body

I am really excited about the newest set of Troy books I am finishing up. They are being illustrated right now. They combine learning with excercise, to address the needs of kids today, who need MUCH more activity. They also use excercises I developed at my Brain and Body classes which use Kinetic learning as well as auditory and visual. I have spent my entire life in Martial arts, Gymanatics and Dance and used these body movements to tranport learning to a whole new level.

My group and I have created hundreds of drills to teach math, science reading and geography in a new and exciting way. This is Math game that is very effective. Draw a large circle on the ground. When you call out "Circumfernce" the kids all run around the perimeter of the circle. (We also call out clockwise or counter clockwise) "Diameter" They run straight across. "Radius" they touch the middle and run back. For Circumference, you can also add 180 degrees or 360 or 45 etc. Looking for a great publisher. I have also finshed my elementary Chapter book Troy's Amazing Universe A for Alien. I am quite excited about it. Troy is transported to a planet where he is able to speak. Troy and his dad are able to have their first real communication. tntdns @ aol .com

Troy's Amazing Universe

Troy's Amazing Universe is a script and book series inspired by my 7 year old son, who is the smallest child in school and has difficulty speaking clearly. One day while driving I glanced back at him sitting in his car seat and realized he was giving a running dialogue on the outside scenery, able to identify every food sign along the highway. He's has an entire world in his head that he is trying to convey. This inspired the first book M for Mall, where he is separted from his over protective parents winds up on his own for the first time ever, in a shopping mall at the height of Christmas shopping season, there he meets Abe, the mentally challenged Wal-mart greeter. Abe and Troy form a bond with the goal of getting Troy home safely before Christmas....

T for Toy is also available and I have just finshed A for Aliens.
