Week 5 Reflection

Emma Stankovic 


  1. Vocabulary and reflection- 

This week we were in the dance studio at stoner learning how to include different dances and movement into lessons with students. Some vocabulary we learned this week was time, direction, and space in relation to perceptual motor skills. Examples of this would be things such as how we don't need to look behind us when stepping backwards. Other vocabulary we learned was three fundamental movement skills. Locomotor, non-locomotor, and object control. Examples of this would be ways we can move or stay in motion. 


  1. Artwork- 

I didn't get any artwork evidence from this week but I found this image online. 


However, I did really like this week in the dance classroom. It was very fun to get out of the classroom and out of our comfort zones. I think my favorite activity we had to do was creating our own dance to the lyrics of the song. 


  1. Questions- 


How might these types of activities affect the learning and development of children? 


  • These types of activities might affect the learning and development of children in multiple ways. The first way is that it can improve the child's confidence. The second way is that it can improve their physical development by getting them to learn more and learn to love physical activity. 


In what ways could today’s activities be incorporated into the curriculum to teach different subjects?

  • You could incorporate movement and dance into almost every subject. For example, you could use dance to remember the parts of the body for science. Or you could use dance in reading to act out a scene from a book or for brain breaks in between subjects.

    I like your ideas for how dance could be incorporated to multiple subjects! I especially liked the idea where the students acted out a scene from a book.

Week 10 Blog

  Emma Stankovic  Week 10 Blog  Creative Expression  (1)  I think getting to create your own story is very beneficial because you get to use your imagination and your ideas to create a story. You get to be more creative and go in whatever direction you please. However, using the AI to assist writing a story was very helpful when you hit a road block or need to add more context or ideas. I think when using the AI to assist, the story isn't as detailed so you do have to add your own details.  (2) You can use these Ai programs for so many reasons. The first way you could use the AI is to help with lesson plans and to give ideas for an activity or lesson plan. You could also use them to help you build problems for a test such as math or questions on a reading exam. You could also use it with your students to have them tell the students jokes at the start of class, or to have them learn new fun facts. However I dont think that students should have access to AI a...

Week 6 Reflection

  For week 6 we made our food art... For my food art I made an aquarium out of cheeze-its, fruit loops, popcorn, and goldfish, and for the butterfly I used apples, cheeze-its, fruit loops, and popcorn. These types of activities affect the development of children by teaching them how to recycle and to use their creative skills. It also could develop patience and resilience if someone messes up or fails. You could use this activity in your curriculum for may lessons. You could use them for lessons on recycling, nutrition, and science.  Next, we went to the Maltby center to look at the art gallery and museum.    There was two pieces of art that stood out to me at the gallery. The first one was the picture of the old car and tree that when you walked side to side, it shifted from being an old tree to a new tree and an old car to a newer car. I don't remember who made the painting, but it was very cool. The second one I found very interesting was the one with the hands an...

Week 4 Reflection

Emma Stankovic  Reflection-  This week we talked about the importance of music in the classroom. We watched videos from “the sound of music” as examples of ways to get music into the classrooms. We then did an activity with our tables where we had to create the perfect classroom set up to involve music. In our classroom we had a projector for music videos, a music library, and carpet seating with instruments. We then had to come up with a way to add culture into our music classroom. My table came up with the idea to learn a new song once a month for a different culture. After we made the posters we did a gallery walk which was very helpful to be able to hear everyone else's feedback and ideas.  We also watched a video on how a teacher got students to use music and rocks from our last lesson all to create a story with meaning. Artwork- Questions- How might these types of activities affect the learning and development of children?  These activities affect the learning ...
