Ballet and 4th Graders

took my class to go see the nutcracker this week.  the kids have been  studying the story, the music, and the ballet performance! it was one of the most magical things to experience with students. culture. culture that is not made available to my students by their families. what a priceless gift! it might not have been their favorite performance, but their faces shined with joy as they entered the theatre. one child exclaimed, "i feel so special! i don't know why!". the magic of new experiences all in a nutshell! and even though i gushed as the nutcracker leaped in front of my 4th graders in all "his glory", i squealed in excitement when my children turned to look at me, because they recognized the ballads of the sugar plum fairy and all the music of the drinks presented to marie! again. priceless. just priceless!
