Well, dance continues to be a focus at Botany Downs Kindergarten. It is rather like singing with your feet. Over the past weeks our Emilys have been introducing us to ballet. Not one of my strong points ... but hey ... we like to move outside our comfort zone! The interest gathered so much momentum that we designated Thursday as ballet day. We didnʻt send a note out or anything, we just told the children about it ... and low and behold, we were inundated with the most beautiful ballerinaʻs I have ever seen! There was a sea of pink tutus. The music was on and Emilyʻs ballet bar was at the ready. Rubin shared a ballet DVD with his sister in in and his sister donated her old leotards. Emily was such an encouraging teacher guiding the children through their moves. Isnʻt it great having an emergent curriculum. We certainly couldnʻt have planned a better day. Thanks so much to all those who made the day a success.
We certainly had a good time! Kaitlyn was in her ballet gear 8.30 in the morning, ready for afternoon kindy! What a long day it was for her. She is still talking about it. What a great idea BDK!
