Are you looking for new inspiration for a final dance/presentation in the coming weeks? If you teach students in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade - check out Christie Matheson's latest book Touch the Brightest Star.
Magic happens every night. It happens everywhere - from sunset to sunrise. It happens even when your eyes are closed.
So begins the book.
With each page turn, you will explore the actions of fireflies, wind, owls, and stars. The words are easy inspiration for movement.
With your students, you can narrate the dance, directly reading the text. Develop movement phrases or an improvisational structure for the dance.
An idea for music is "Oscarine" by kora player Ballaké Sissoko and cellist Vincent Segal.
