Once upon a time Ms. Philosophydoll left her home in Canada and visited her friend in Seattle, Washington. Her friend had a great big hoop up against the wall in the bedroom. Ms. Philosophydoll writes, "In a second I had that full circle spinning until there was a party going on in my body… A few minutes later I discovered that with one leg just a bit ahead of the other, the less you move the better it is… A month after that I made a class set for the twenty-four six and seven year olds I was working with… My students would always say, 'Ms. Philosphydoll can’t we go outside first… it is so much easier for us to sit down and work after we’ve been hula hooping… it must build some kind of super powers.'" Soon the hoops were taking over the school! Full post with photos: Canuck'd
