The third grade is presenting at the assembly this week. We read the book "Dumpy La Rue" by Elizabeth Winthrop. Dumpy loves to dance, but the farm animals insist that he can't dance because "pigs don't dance."
As a result, third graders have been looking at gender stereotypes. We have surveyed the school community to find people who know of boys or girls, men or women who break existing stereotypes. We will present this data accompanied by matching images at the assembly.
For the finale, third graders will belt out "Flashdance!" You may be familiar with the popular song about a young woman's passion for dancing. (Don't worry, I told the kids they can't watch the movie until they are 17 or 18. :o) If your child would like to practice the song, click here for the karaoke version on youtube.
Have fun! :o)
