Challenges?
Lesson

We watched the music video on a

really small screen.
We could have used a diagram with
the lyrics.
Lesson

Outside was SO much more

interesting!
We needed some headphones.
Maybe collaboration rather than
individual.

Significance?
Music

and Movement is POWERFUL.

There is so much to be learned from silly
songs, nursery rhymes, action songs, etc.
Movement promotes safety and caring
for those around you.
Music exercises listening and
comprehension skills.
Together, connections are made almost
unknowingly!
Inspiration, experimentation, creation!

For the Future

I

will use BOTH my lessons, taking into

account my challenges and improving from
there.
Lessons do NOT have to be dry and boring.
Through learning about art, different
academic skills can be honed and
developed.
Art should no longer be used to learn
through, but learned about and used as a
tool to bolster the learning of other
subjects.
