Reading Love

Nutcracker Adventure
Lower Elementary students in room 279 attended the Jose Mateo performance of the Nutcracker as it celebrated its 30th year. School committee member, Fred Fantini joined our class on our adventure. Everyone was enthralled by the wonderful ballet dancing, the beautiful decorations, and the costumes. It was fun to see Mother Ginger and her children, the dancing mice, the snowflakes, and the Sugar Plum Fairy. This year we had the honor of meeting the Sugar Plum Fairy in person after the performance. Children were able to ask questions and see the beautiful costume up close. A great time was had by all.
