As part of our International Holidays unit, I presented the Nutcracker Ballet today. The children were read the story and heard some of the music. They were also able to look at 2 nutcrackers we have in our classroom. On Friday, we will combine the book and music and dance to the Nutcracker. If you have a nutcracker at home, your child may bring it in for sharing. Please do not run out and buy one. We look forward to the fun activities we will be doing with the Nutcracker.
