2nd and 3rd Grade: Ferdinand


Second and third grade students went to the Renaissance Center to watch the Nashville Ballet perform "Ferninand" The Story of Ferdinand is by Munro Leaf. Students were charmed by a lovable bull that would much rather sit and smell the flowers of the field than fight and fuss like all the others.

Through Ferdinand's gentle spirit, we humorously learn to appreciate and embrace what truly makes each of us special and realize that, sometimes, "stopping to smell the flowers" can be far more beneficial than "putting up a fight!"

The set designs were cleverly inspired by the Cubist paintings of renowned Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso.
