Opening the School Year

One of the things we choreograph a lot, as teachers, is that first class of the new school year. Today I would like to share some of my favorite books for preschool-2nd grade students.

One of these books might be a part of your "intro" with a class on the first day. Or, you might lend one of the books to the preschool teacher or classroom teacher with which you work. He/she could read the book to the students prior to coming to your dance class.

Great choices for preschool students:

Dance with Me by Charles R. Smith Jr.

I am a Dancer by Pat Lowery Collins

Let's Dance by George Ancona

Selections for K-2 students:

Dance by Bill T. Jones and Susan Kuklin

To Be an Artist by Maya Ajmera and John D. Ivanko

Let's Dance by George Ancona

I am a Dancer by Pat Lowery Collins

I hope that your fall planning is going well!
