What speaks to you?
Visual thinking strategies enable kids to use and develop skills they already possess and allow them to have a jumping off point to their learning. I always enjoy listening to students discuss and reason in my classroom about different topics because it gives teachers an insight into how or why a student may think the way they do. I also liked the comment that kids want to understand what they are looking at and by using their instincts and previous knowledge, they can build their critical thinking skills.
I haven't used a lot of art integration in my classroom this year but I would like to incorporate more in the coming year.
