2 is for Dancing

I just recently pulled off of my bookshelf 2 is for Dancing: A 1 2 3 of Actions by Woodleigh Hubbard.

While this picture book is over a decade old, the text is still fun and joyful to use with preschool and kindergarten classes. It reminds me of an activity I once observed with master teacher Mary Ann Lee leading a dance class at Lincoln Elementary in Salt Lake City.

I could see this developing into a short dance or warm up that can easily be repeated over the course of a week.

The book is out of print, but used copies can be found on amazon.com. For teachers and teaching artists in the Bay Area, I see that the Rockridge Library has a copy of it.
