Dance With Me, is an early children's book by Charles Smith Jr. This book is a wonderful book to get your students up and moving! It gives the students instructions on how to get up from there desk and move. Ex. "Twirl with me, tap your toes, and spin with me." I really enjoyed this book. My group and I used it in our service learning project, focusing on how to get students active.
Is this a good story?
Yes, I think that this a wonderful book to have in the classroom. It gets students up and moving. They do this by dancing! This is a great book for transition times during the day. It also is a great book when talking about staying fit and being active.
Did I feel like I was in that time and place?
Yes, the book is very interactive. Students are participating and following the actions during the book.
What did the author want to tell me in the story?
He wants students to be active and love to dance!
Is this story about something that could really happen?
Yes, some students in the class also may really enjoy dancing and do it outside of school.
