Field Reflection

Field has been an awesome experience for me! My partner and I have had great experiences with Creative Arts in the classroom. We incorporated Creative Movements, Music and Visual Arts into a couple of our lesson plans and they were so much fun. For one lesson plan we were teaching the students about the Revolutionary War and helped them explore and create a theatrical dance performance to help them remember the different sides and conflicts of the war.
On another day the teacher was teaching the students about symmetric symbols and measurement in a Math lesson. He did something so fun, after his lesson instead of just assigning a page he had the students create their own symmetric art piece using graph paper and colored pencils. This was so fun because it allowed the students to explore but also made them really think about the symmetrical elements and helped them embed this knowledge!
It really has been so much fun and such a joy. I have learned so much and can't wait to start teaching many of these lessons and my own in my own classroom!
