What: For this week we have been trying to bring art into our classroom by using music.
So What: I have been able to introduce music into the classroom I was assigned to for field. We sang a song about America I taught the kids how to use their voices properly, and how to sing the song in a round. We practiced for Monday, and sang it on Tuesday, they sang it really well. We also talked about the words and what they meant.
I really think the kids liked it because it was a change of pace for them.
Now What: I know that being out in the classroom and just having field are two different things, but our teacher does not feel comfortable with singing, or games. I got a few looks from our teacher while we were singing. I know that as a teacher I would like to have art in my classroom. The reason for this is that there is art in everything we do in a day there is math, history, science, reading all rolled into one day. A person will never just have an all math day where they only do math problems. A person will encounter many different subjects in a given day and often at the same time. I believe that art can help to tie in all of these subjects.
