Last week and this week I have shared Dogs Don't Do Ballet by Anna Kemp with students. It's such a funny book that we have used to infer how the dog feels or what character trait he exhibits as we read. It's amazing how many interesting words we can learn while reading a picture book.
Biff is a dog who really wants to be a ballet dancer. Even though lots of people tell him that dogs don't do ballet, he doesn't give up! He keeps working towards his dream!
After reading
Dogs Don't Do Ballet we will be reading
The Nutcracker with artwork by Alison Jay.
The Nutcracker based on the famous ballet, has become a big part of American culture during the holidays. The music and the story is famous and I wanted to make sure students have some knowledge of
The Nutcracker so we will read the book and watch clips of the ballet and make connections with both of these books.
