Nutcracker Field Trip Fun!

I had such a great time taking the 1st graders to go see the Nutcracker ballet today. They were wonderful audience members and did a great job representing Bryant. It was very cute to see them get excited when they recognized a new character on stage, and I loved seeing them bounce in their seats when they recognized one of the songs that we learned in class.  The kids had a great time and so did I! When we returned to school, I was able to talk with some classes about what they liked most about the show. Here were some of our favorite things about the Nutcracker...

"When Clara danced." "When the canon went off." "The snow." "When the Nutcracker battled the Mouse Queen." "When the Nutcracker leaped in the air."

Thanks to all the teachers and chaperones that came to make the trip go smoothly. Here are a couple of quick photos I took of some of our students waiting for the show to start.
