Hi Catie from Stamford. Elementary art teacher.
-
First Q coming up in 2 minutes!
-
-
I love all the arts but my favorites are visual art and martial arts.
-
Q1: Are the arts integrated in your classroom/school/district? In what ways?
-
A1: My school is a & classroom Ts co-teach w art, music, PE to teach reading, writing, math etc. https://t.co/061lYJh3Jm
-
-
A1: Collaborating with art and music teachers to bring content area to life has enormous potential and is underutilized.
-
I'm guessing I'll be the delayed response person here. Major lag in my wifi tonight
-
And I love collaborating with the classroom Ts, I learn so much!
-
-
it's so important! Could deepen student understanding in a multitude of ways.
-
Q1: arts are integrated when time allows for classroom Ts. We are looking into creating a makerspace in our school
-
Hey ! Sorry I'm late! Melissa from Stamford, 3rd grade teacher! I was making a scarf and lost track of time!
-
No problem, how are you making it?
-
Q2: Do you use the arts with (or without) technology to help improve student engagement? How?
-
A1: I honestly don't know how to answer this question because I don't tihnk they do much of it
-
wow I would love to have the chance to co-teach that must be awesome!
-
A1 I feel it's always tricky at secondary level for any interdisciplinary collab. However, always encouraged when possible
-
I'm arm knitting!! I made a whole bunch last year & found the yarn. Decided to take a night off of school work
-
Co-teaching is awesome, we learn so much from each other!
-
Arm knitting? Can you explain?
-
A1: I think it would be amazing for art or music teachers to find a way to make the rock cycle artistic or multiplication musical
-
Our library recently set up maker space ; Lo and hi tech creation station
-
A1. Love when Ts find ways to incorporate art as a choice in so many projects. Gets kids excited and highlights passions.
-
-
-
A2 Art finds it's way into my science curric regularly (cell analogy/ genetic monster/ human body tracings) and in my advisory work!
-
A2: I am increasingly trying to find ways to include creating something & letting kids be artistic into learning but its hard...
-
Currently minimal amount of tech integration. I find it a challenge without the hardware for students. I use twitter
-
-
a1- our dist sd unified is piloting an art integ program at 22 title 1 schools. My sch has artists coteach w 2nd. &3rd once a week
-
A2 Speaking of performing arts, my Public Speaking class spends time with improv activities to engage and build s2s rapport

-
That's amazing! I need to try and do some more art integration!
-
A3: Never heard of it -- sounds cool!
-
Welcome, Don- how is this program working out?
-
We've also done collab between creative writing and photography classes
-
-
That would be a really cool project...I could have my Ss do that with the iPads...brain is spinning
-
-
Was inspired by HONY; was an attempt at Humans of Canton
-
Q3: I'll definitely check it out.
-
A3: I definitely want to use Google Art project more than I have been!
-
That is a really cool resource!
-
a2- I incorp writing/speaking/listening activities in my art lessons to bring ELA content into my room.
-
My mind is literally blown by this web site! How did I not know about this coolness!
-
-
This is so weird. None of your posts are coming through. Is this just me?
-
Q4: Any last questions/ words/ideas about arts integration & Ss learning?
-
I'm super excited for World Wonders - what a simple way to take kids around the world!
-
. I know, right? So many resources!
-
A3: wow there's a ton of great visuals!

Uh oh- are you on TweetDeck? Sometimes it is wonky

On Google art project you can also take Ss "into" museums, it is so interesting!

No way?!? That is awesome! I'm going to have to share this with our art teachers!
-
Yes, data will be a good thing. Hope it continues for you

So cool!! I would never forget mitosis if this is how I learned it!

A4: arts integration allows ss to take charge of their learning and create a greater depth of knowledge.

A4: what has worked well for you in collaborating with colleagues on artint? School wide focus? Theme?
