Reflection #6 update
For our arts integration, we taught the students Christmas songs from different countries and had the students act out pages in a book that I read (The Flag We Love). The students loved the songs and the drama, and I think that it will be something that they remember for a very long time! As a matter of fact, most of my students wrote that those things were the things that they liked best about me in the book that they wrote for me. :) Pretty cool, huh! Anyway, if you need more of an elaboration, just let me know!

Reflection #6
My field experience? I LOVED IT! It was absolutely wonderful! I don't know anything else I can say to make my point clear. Today was my last day at my school and, I have to say, I got pretty choked up. Mrs. Ware, our cooperating teacher, and our kids made Kayla and me each a special book called, "What I like Most About Mrs. Bird" and "What I Like Most About Miss Christensen" and they drew us pictures and wrote a sentence or two about what they liked most about us - I LOVED MINE! It was SO cute! :) Mrs. Ware also bought each of us a plate and cup for Santa's cookies and milk. :) I was just so sad I had to leave them! :( I don't know what else you wanted us to write about, but I do love those kids, it's amazing how attached you can get to someone else's child so quickly! I honestly love those children almost as much as I do my own children! I truly am going to miss those kids! Oh, btw- I enjoyed the teaching, too! Some of my kids even told me that I made learning fun and easy for them- SCORE! That was my goal and why I want to be a teacher so bad, I guess I have what it takes to make a difference! :) What was the most surprising thing is that most of the students who said I made learning fun and easy, were my "trouble makers". :) I'm glad that I made at least a little bit of a difference. :) [LOVED THEM!!! :) ]

Reflection #5
LOVED the presentations today! I think it would be interesting to do something like this in class, except the teacher come up with all of the different artists and let each child test each one out! I also loved the Ladder for Booker T. Washington painting. I actually even looked for a print to buy online, but it can only be bought in museums and that site you were telling us about. dang it! oh, well! I will just have to wait until I'm a teacher to get one!

I really enjoyed the music presentations, because it helped me learn easier. I think it would also help my students to come up with, or for me to come up with, a song to a well-known rhythm/tune because when you can sing a song about what you are supposed to know, it helps you recall easier. I will definitely use this in my classroom!
