Even More Field

This week has gone by so fast.  The students have had the opportunity to do art projects when they are completed with other work during Homework/Free time.  This class really likes visual art.  They love to draw and paint especially.  It seems like there are always markers and colored pencils littering the floor because they are used so much.  The walls and cabinets are covered with cards and pictures the students have given their teacher.  Most of the students would rather draw and color than do other work like math, reading, and writing.

Field Experience

This week we taught both of our creative arts integrated lessons.  The first one was a role play and it did not go very well.  Some of the students were confused about what we were doing and the others didn't want to do it.  I think the biggest reason it that most of them didn't care enough to pay attention from the beginning of the lesson and we were running out of time.

Our second lesson went great.  We taught the class our song about the Mayflower.  They picked it up but still needed a little help remembering some of the words.  It was awesome.  They all knew the tune of the song and one of the boys was singing it as the got ready for lunch.
