Whoa! This, via Corey Mahoney, is cool. The kids would love it! Let’s see…
…it’d be most appropriate for the 4th & 5th graders… but the boys probably won’t dig the skirt idea too much, so I need a boy-version of swishy clothing, hopefully with one-size-fits-all for both boys & girls. Then I’ll need 32 of them in order to supply a whole class. And I’ll need a lesson plan of course, but that’s the easy part… or better still, a whole unit integrating dance, geographic directions, magnetic north, and play!
Play: A wonderful book I’m reading: Research asserts, once again, that dance is beneficial to learning, because it has so many elements of play!
I doubt I’ll find funding for a class-set of North Skirts, but I’ll definitely be carrying the heart of Stuart Brown’s book Play: How It Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul into my lesson-planning.
