• 00:27 Sixth Grade Tap Class Featured

  The sixth graders have been working hard to refresh their tap dance skills this school year! It's been a lot of fun reviewing the tap vocabulary that students learned years ago and use it in a new way. We have also looked at tap dance history in the U.S. and how it evolved over time. Some tap dancers we connected with are The Nicolas Brothers, Savion Glover, and Syncopated Ladies.

  Magic Carpet
  
  You have a magic carpet
  That will whiz you through the air,
  To Spain or Maine or Africa
  If you just tell it where.
  So will you let it take you
  Where you've never been before,
  Or will you buy some drapes to match
  And use it
  On your
  Floor?

• 1:11 Balloons Over Broadway!

  This past week, students learned about puppeteer Anthony Frederick Sarg who first created the balloons for the famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in New York. Afterwards, students had their chance to design a balloon to go down the parade route. A few even had the chance to see their parade be displayed in the parade, using a 'green screen' background. Make sure to check out the read-aloud 'Balloons Over Broadway' this holiday weekend and stay tuned for a video being edited by students! Happy Thanksgiving!
