Today was my first experiment working with the librarian at my K-8 school. (I regularly work in the middle school, but do special projects with the K-5 students.)
To celebrate National Dance Week, the librarians pulled and then displayed their whole collection of dance books.
Today, we started one of the 1st grade library sessions in the dance studio. The librarian started the lesson, framed the activity, and then read Star Climbing to the class. I then put on some music and we danced the story. This book is one of the easiest picture books to use in preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade classes. The words beautifully create a simple dance.
This part of the lesson took about 15 minutes, and then we headed upstairs to the library. The students browsed the dance books on display, and each student selected one to borrow for the week.
This was a simple and fun lesson, sharing the concepts of books on dance and books that can inspire dancing.
Happy National Dance Week!
