Your children will learn about the story of the ballet, about the author E.T.A. Hoffman and the composer Tchaikovsky, as well as some music and ballet vocabulary. They will also spend lots of time listening to the wonderful music of The Nutcracker which is perfect for this time of year.
The Nutcracker Holiday Unit Study from SQUILT is a digital download of 16 pages. There are several notebooking pages to print out for your kids to use. I love the feature of the Resource page (you get the password in your download) where you can find books and videos to aid in your study!
