What speaks to you?
I enjoyed the visuals and ideas on how to do more arts integration within the classroom. The example provided in one of the videos in which teachers could teach fractions by using half and whole notes in music, and then having students perform the notes in order to integrate it into the assessment really intrigued me.
Does it give you any ideas?
It makes me want to plan lessons with the art and music teachers at my school in order to find new, fun, and meaningful ways to integrate the arts into the standards during core instruction.
How do you integrate art into your current curriculum? Currently I use a lot of music and movement, dramatic play, and manipulative center activities in order to integrate the arts for a variety of learning styles. Students cut out letters out of magazines to spell sight words, they use modeling clay and craft materials to retell the sequence of events in a story, and they use play dough to roll into balls and add them together to create math equations. I also enjoy calming music during work time and Go Noodle brain break dances.
Other reactions? I think overall I do a good job of integrating the arts into my ELA and Math curriculum, but I would like to be able to do a better job of co-teaching or planning with my arts teachers in order to find new and interesting ways to incorporate the arts into my science and social studies lessons.
