This week, in ballet and creative movement we are celebrating the garden! Growing as different types of flowers, caterpillars to butterflies, ants, worms, and birds! My 4 year olds loved the idea saying "I wish we could visit the real garden!"We have been doing the caterpillar to butterfly dance for a while in ballet class and they love it! Just this week many of them told me they are growing butterflies in their classrooms. Woah! I didn't even know I was connecting to curriculum, but it makes me so happy that I am! How great is it for them to see it happening and also make a dance about it using their bodies?!
Do you have a lesson in dance class that the kids tell you they are exploring at school? I would love to hear!
This is one of the best lessons I have ever heard! How fun! I must try this with my little kiddies. I'll call it "Maria's Garden Dance."
