This past week there hasn't really been a lot of art done in the classroom. There seems to be more of a focus on writing and math.
During the student's independent work time I have noticed several of them working and practicing on memorizing a few Christmas songs that they will be performing in a few weeks. The music is a modern song with new words added to it, to help add flair for the kids. They seem to enjoy that better than an old song or one that people have heard year after year.
During one of our social studies lessons this past week we focused on Propoganda and what it was. After explaining that we showed them various examples of Propoganda used during the WWI time period. Then for our activity and to get the students more involved we had them choose one of the following categories to illustrate: 1) Favorite candy/food 2) Favorite book 3) Favorite tv show. The students were trying to make the product look enticing, which resulted in several wonderful pictures.
Next week will be our last two days of teaching, we hopefully will be able to complete one more art project to the students we teach for social studies and teach a Thanksgiving song to the students in our cooperating teacher's classroom.
