Shall we Dance!!

Or Should I said: "Shall we Move"!!!

This week it been the most roller coaster many classes are overlapping like never before, but its all good. Every time a professor mention how close it’s our student teaching assignment my heart starts pounding like crazy of excitement and frightens feelings at the same time.

Teaching is an amazing Profession!!!

In Creative arts I have learned about....Well I would said I learned How to integrate Dance and/or creative movements in my classroom!!!!!! And the benefits of it too.

Beside that I learned how important of movements in communication can not be separated. when a child is born,

they don't know how to speak to communicate their feelings or needs and through movements children are able to communicate.

We all love to move, even when we are old. Dance or creative movements makes us happy. And when we are happy, our brain are ready learn better (in a higher level). That is one of the main reason why we need to more in a classroom.

Integrating dance or creative movements with core curriculum subjects such as: social studies, science, and even language arts; students will have th

e opportunity to experience, create, and live each personage of a story or history play and/or a performance of their skeleton. Since they will be creating ways to express what their parts are, they will have to memorize and review over and over again the subject material in order to do their best. That process is what we call CPS. Creative Problem Solution, a tool that they can use with all of their classes and also in

real life.

I also learned that dance offered social benefits for underprivileged students by providing an emotional

safe haven; giving the feeling they were special; acting as assimilation tools for recent immigrants and other new kids; and bolstering friendships as they enter new situation. That a biggy for me because when I dance, I do it for me because it makes me feel happy. But now it brings memories from back home. I didn't notice that until now.

Lately, all the classes are beginning to overlap. For example, Creative Arts, Psychology, Social Studies, and Classroom Management are also intertwine with each other. They are also talking how students learn, schema, CPS (Creative Problem Solution), Piaget's, Multiple Intelligence and dance, which makes us happy, and we are happy we can learn much more or better. I love to dance and learn that I can teach my future students core curriculum with dance or creative movements, I am thrill.

I think later or at the end of the semester it will make sense why they all want us to learn some of the same concepts with all the teachers. But for

now I think that between Instructional Media, Social Studies, and Creative Arts I am set for life. Meaning I think I will be able to survive my first 3 years of my courier. That reason why, it is because children love to have fun, I do like to have fun...children will learn more an environment where they feel love, accepted, and cared, and where discovery is the Theme of the year!!!

I feel lucky to be in this program and in this class because it really makes me realize how important it is to make everyone in my future classroom love and important, and safe.
