I read a review of this picture book a few months ago, and finally found a copy at the library this week. If you are searching for a new concept for a modern dance class with students in grades 3-5, check out this book!
Infinity and Me is written by Kate Hosford and illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska (a favorite of mine). It shares the story of a young girl poundering and discussing the question of infinity. The text, artwork, and concept are all magical. With students in grades 3-5, you can explore the movement concepts of repetition, traveling, figure 8 patterns in the air and on the ground, and more.

I envision a magical dance that actually has the text read aloud or recorded for the audience to hear. The story will lead to the creation of an exciting dance with your students.
