Drama

It will be very important for me to use drama in my classroom. I am kind of a dramatic person, so a lot of it will just come naturally. I know it will help kids perform better when they are having fun and learning to be creative in how they express themselves. I am especially a fan of relaxation exercises. I need to do a lot of relaxing myself, so using those will help both my class and myself. Using drama with the core curriculum will be good to help the kids stay focused. Amen

Arts Class

I like to think. t-h-i-n-k. This class has a lot of potential, but with the time of day and my lack of good sleep I never really want to come out and be crazy. I normally could, but I am too tired, and so is everyone else. I will like to incorporate the arts in the classroom, but I am such an out-there person that it just comes naturally. I am really hungry right now, and don't really want string cheese or an apple, but that is the only food I have. Maybe someone will trade me something for the apple. I hope. This music is fun. I am getting into it.

Teaching Arts

I was in the drama program in high school. I think that teaching the arts is very important. I think that keeping students captivated is key for classroom management, and also for the kids to remember the subject matter being covered in class. Not every thing taught through the arts needs to take kids out of their comfort zone, that is what is so great about it.
