week 15 reflection

This is the final blog for this class, and I am grateful to have participated in this class. I can now see that I would like to teach with some sort of art, drama, dance, or music in every day. This may be a little high of a benchmark for some, but i want to show the kids there is art in every subject. something that really stood out to me in field was the lack of arts and the mindset that it was too difficult. I think that it might be hard the first little while, but eventually it would become automatic. I need every advantage I can get if i am going to get a job in teaching.

week 14 reflection

What: I have seen what the arts could be like in my classroom. I like the idea of teaching arts integration.

So what: I have had the opportunity to see the different genres of art throughout the semester, and I can see after field that arts needs to be in almost every lesson. I am excited to teach the curriculum in a different way other that bookwork, worksheet, and just writing. I am really interested to see what my classroom would be like with the arts as a staple, and not just a rotation once a week.

Now what: I know that arts has played a big role in my life. Most of the things I remember in my school experience, were artistic in nature. I believe that for me I will be using the arts for almost every lesson. The arts makes connections that nothing else can.
