Nutcracker Museum

The 2nd Graders just finished studying "The Nutcracker Suite" by Peter Tchaikovsky. This year, students brought in any nutcrackers that they had at home and we created a nutcracker museum. We got quite a variety. One was from Germany, one was from Hawaii, one was received after a student attended an actual performance of the ballet, some were Christmas ornaments, and others represented favorite sports teams.We even got 2 metal nutcrackers that actually are used for cracking nuts. Everyone enjoyed looking at all the different kinds.  Here's a picture of our museum.
