Around the time of winter festivals
The Nutcracker ballet is preformed all over the world.
My second graders created unique nut-crackers in honor of the ballet using TP rolls and egg-cartons. We looked at traditional and modern designs; comparing the two different styles and evaluating which parts stayed the same or changed.
The kids loved the crazy teeth of the traditional nutcracker, so many were sure to add them to their own designs.
My Saint Anthony kids were lucky enough to go see the ballet live downtown last week.
A number of my kids, from both schools, will be part of some of the performances this year! Since I would be missing out, a few girls were sweet enough to show me a few of their dance moves. So talented!
