As part of our Holiday's Around the World unit, 3rd graders learn about the Nutcracker Ballet and will be going to a performance of The Nutcracker at Proctors on Friday 12/13. On Tuesday, they were treated to a presentation with ballerina Elizabeth Hite, instructor at Barbara’s School of the Dance. Elizabeth is also a former dancer of the Nutcracker Tour with the Berkshire Ballet. Students were able to learn about the show, listen to some of the music, see one of the dances, and got a mini ballet lesson from Elizabeth!
