Reflection # 12 -- Field Experience

So the field experience is finally over. And what a moving experience it was all around. The class made us a booklet with letters and pictures giving Morgan and I advice. Some of their pictures were creative and interesting.

In our last lesson we had planned to have them draw pictures depicting important parts of WWI, but with the class and how talkative they were and how we had to keep motivating them to work and our limited time, we weren't able to fit it in.

Over the course of the past week I have been finishing up my Fine Arts Journal and getting it all compiled. I really have learned a lot this course and will be interested to integrate the arts into my future classroom. I know when I did art and such things like that in school I found it relaxing and fun to be able to create such things. I want to be able to share that with my students and integrate learning with art. Some students are visual learners, so they will remember more by creating or being able to visualize it.

I know that by doing this art experience that I am even more excited to do the younger grades next semester.....because more time with kids, brings more knowledge and exciting moments and stories.
