Grades 3 and 4 Try Toe Shoes

We have been reading a book called To Dance-a ballerina's graphic novel about the ballerina Siena Cherson Siegel. We wanted to try out some toe shoes so that we could better understand the story and what a ballerina has to wear.

We found out that these shoes are very uncomfortable and that it is very difficult to stand on toe. Kaylin and You-Jin were able to stand on toe, but only by holding on to something; they tried to stand on toe using only one foot, but couldn't do it for more than a few seconds.
