I did this lesson on November 15th, but one can never get in the Christmas Spirit too early! Mrs. Jenkins thought that it would be fun to explore movement based on the classic "Twas the Night Before Christmas". For a while we actually thought we would be doing a Christmas performance to this story but we ultimately decided on a different book (more on that to come!)
The students had a lot of fun reading this book and coming up with movement for the story. The story is longer so we only got to the part where he "tore open the window and threw up the sash". However, this allowed us to sufficiently explore the different possibilities for the parts of the story that we did get through. Mrs. Jenkins found a recorded reading of the story online and we played it as an accompaniment to the student's dancing.
On a different note... If you're wondering where the post for the 8th visit to Mrs. Condie's class is... so am I. I misplaced what I wrote down about that particular lesson, and the only note I can find says "Visit 7: Turkey". Since I have no recollection of what that means I can't really blog about it. But I'm sure it was a great lesson!
