Week 12 Blog

 Some of the new concepts I learned this week were statue, narrative pantomime, teacher in role, person in a mess, and hot seating. Statuing is when in the book the students have to freeze in a position. Narrative pantomime is when you make a movement similar to what the book is talking about while still reading the book. Teacher in role is when the teacher does the role of the book. A person in a mess is when the teacher asks the students for a solution to a problem someone in the book is having. Lastly, hot seating is when you make a student be the character in the book and ask them how they are feeling. I feel like using drama techniques as a teaching tool is a great idea. I think it is very useful to keep students engaged and focused. These activities might affect the learning and development of children in a good way because it could make them more confident in front of their peers and other things like that. I would basically do the same thing that was exampled with the seahorse book. I liked the way that book was very question oriented. I like doing the drama with books rather than with a whole lesson. Maybe using a book about the subject.

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 ...
