🎶✨ Learning Through Music & Art in 1st Grade! ✨🎨
Ms. Taylor Locklear and Mrs. Helen’s 1st grade class has been diving into the world of music this week while learning about the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, best known for his musical masterpiece The Nutcracker.
To bring this learning to life, students explored the 2018 film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms and chose their favorite realm to illustrate. Through creativity and imagination, students connected music, storytelling, and art in a meaningful way.
Learning about composers while using movies that spark students’ interests helps make learning engaging, creative, and fun! 🎼🖍️
