My kids dance better than Tom's kids

A little more than a week ago, Tom posted a blog about teaching kids Jingle Bells (which I already did here) - and then with the speakers and computer that he had in class, two of his students had a little after hours dance party.

Well, after I saw his kids dance to LMFAO's Party Rock, I mused over what dances I could teach my students in a very short time. Last week, in the short time that I ran out of chalk in my fifth grade class, a grand idea popped into my mind!

Click and see the fruits of my effort. Love the boys in the front row. It's a long video, but scroll until the end and watch the expert girls lead my class! The boys take the dancing very seriously because I stressed the applicability of this dance to both boys and girls.

 Then, I made them silently practice 10 mins on their own with peer monitors as I ran downstairs to my room to grab my speakers and camera. CUTE. WIN!
