Dancing and Mapping??

We have been having an amazing time with Miss Louise - our LTTA artist.  LTTA stands for Learning Through The Arts.  This is an amazing program that allows school to partner with artists to help students learn about curriculum topics, but using the arts.  Our focus has been Social Studies - Mapping.

Miss Louise has helped us to understand how we use maps, and what important places are on maps.  The students have not only been dancing, but creating their own dances and performing them for each other.  We have one visit left this week - and we will be sad to see Miss Louise go.  However, the dance techniques and mapping skills she has taught us will be hard to forget!

(Sorry some of the pictures are a bit blurry - it's hard to catch how quickly they were dancing!)

What do you do on a cold, winter day...

The plunging thermometer and the icy windchill factor kept us inside all day today, but that didn't dampen our spirits.  What do you do on a cold, winter day --- just dance!! 

The students had a fantastic time dancing, stretching and moving.  Some of the pictures are blurry because they were moving so fast.  We had a blast, got our hearts racing and then had a nice cool down stretch.  Here they are - busting a move, or two...
