This class has been very benifical to me. I always loved coloring and doing arts in elementary school. This class taught me more though. It taught me a lot about drama and music that i didn't know. I think that arts is very important in the classroom, and that its what students need. It will help and let them be more expressive and creative.
I loved integrating drama and music into books and different core subjects. It was so easy to pick a picture book and then integrate arts with it. It made it more fun and knowledeable for me as the teacher as well as the students.
I can see though how integrating arts can take time for you to prepare, so then you might question whether it is worth it or not. I think and have seen that it is worth it. The students love variety, they aren't robots that want to do the same thing. They so willing to try new things and to have fun and laugh in the classroom.
I think thats what arts is all about; having fun in the classroom and making something memeorable for the students. The students will get more out of school as a whole if i take the time to integrate arts into the core subjects. It is a win win for me as the teacher and the students!
