Mini Unit - Jan Brett's The Nutcracker (December)

Jan Brett brings her beautiful and iconic illustration style to the classic tale, The Nutcracker.

This new Mini Unit will make a memorable week of study for your whole family! Lessons cover concepts drawn from the story, which include: the history and purpose of a nutcracker, exploring adaptations in both language arts and science, border art in illustration, a drawing tutorial, many other activities, tips and lessons…and a tasty “sugarplum” recipe to share during your study.

The book Jan Brett’s The Nutcracker is sold separately from the Five in a Row Mini Unit study. You can borrow the picture book from your local library or purchase it online from Amazon. The Nutcracker and all the go-along books listed in the Mini Unit are available in our Amazon shop.
