Reflection #13

This week we had two lessons and then we were finished. The rest of the time we just observed our mentor teacher and helped out whne needed. On our last day of teaching we did a review of everything that we had taught in our 5 previous lessons. It was lots of fun to see what they remembered, and I was quite surprised at some of the things they did remember. At the end of the lesson we had them sing our Utah song that I talked about in Reflection #12. It was realy fun to see that they remembered the two verses we taught them and it was a perfect ending to our review lesson. Watching our mentor teacher and also reflecting on the things we taught, it was really a great thing the see the effect that art can have. It was also nice tosee that kids really do enjoy doing the different things we had them do. I can now see that it is very important to do this in my future classroom becuse it makes learning fun and the kids are more likely to remember the things that were tuaght. I'm excited to have my own classroom and be able to try out even more ways to integrate art.
