Because I am in a years1-2 classroom we do lots of hands on
activities. I love it, since it is so my style of teaching and the students
love it because its fun.
Here’s some things that we have done so far.
My mentor teacher loves the arts. The children were taught
how to draw faces and were given paper to draw their own self-portraits. Once
they had it drawn with pencil they colored it in and outlined it in black or
brown. Next, they took some dye and painted over it so there was a nice pretty
color as the background. Then they pasted it onto black construction paper.
They finished the project off with creating a mosaic boarder with cut out
pieces of paper. Aren’t they such artists! Such likeness!
In the category of the arts we do lots of singing and
dancing. Here are some recordings of my classes’ favorites to sing and dance
to. Trust me, it’s worth it to listen. They are pretty funny, especially the
Bad Hair Day song.
WARNING: These songs tend to get stuck in head very easily. Do not, I repeat, do not listen to them multiple times.
