These past couple of weeks leading up to Winter Break have been very busy for us! We were lucky enough to be able to go on two field trips: one to see an Alvin Ailey dance performance, and the other to see some exhibits at the Museum of Natural History. Both trips were enjoyed very much by the 4th and 5th graders! We were fortunate enough to be able to watch one of Alvin Ailey's newer pieces, "Breaking Point," as well as another dance that was one of Ailey's originals. One highlight was that the students were treated to a light show where they got a little lesson on how stage lighting works! The show was the perfect complement to the once-a-week dance lessons provided by our Ailey instructor, Heather.
At the Museum of Natural History, we were able to visit the Hall of Planet Earth, where students were able to learn a bit about Earth's geological processes. Very fitting for our nonfiction literacy unit about natural disasters! We also went to see some other exhibits in the Hayden Planetarium, since many students were so interested! We were able to notice some differences in how information is portrayed in a museum versus how information is portrayed in a nonfiction book. We are looking forward to more field trips in the future!
