    Good morning! First day of break. #bfc530
  • BrysonBridget Mar 30 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    The arts. I donโ€™t integrate nearly as much as Iโ€™d like to, but itโ€™s a constant goal. I use art and music to teach tone and mood, creative opportunities to represent, tableau to help build emotion & understanding...so much more to do #bfc530

    Each assessment has an artistic alternate or component. Especially in anatomy I have gotten some amazing things from Ss that I could never have developed myself #bfc530

    #bfc530 Yeah it seems that Maths, reading and writing are the compulsory subjects. the other subjects takes a bit more time and effort into involving them in the classroom.

    Arts Integration: I have been asked if my room is an art room. We love sketchnoting and creating! #bfc530
  • SusZanti5 Mar 30 @ 5:35 AM EDT
    Connect content to art and music history, have maker spaces in every room and encourage alternative means to expressing authentic learning, write, read and draw! #bfc530

    #bfc530 that's so interesting. Could you elaborate further on this?

  • kmichellehowell Mar 30 @ 5:35 AM EDT
    When my learners make/create they are using skills that they have learned in other areas. Connecting my learners with learners in other countries to exchange dances pulls in other forms of art. #bfc530
  • teresagross625 Mar 30 @ 5:36 AM EDT
    Students have painted furniture for us. Really helps make the room "our" room. #bfc530
  • kmurfitt1 Mar 30 @ 5:36 AM EDT
    I think that by making choice a priority in your classroom it opens the door for so many things. Art and creative thought are one of them. #BFC530

    I wish i would do more of this. I usually use videos and songs to reinforce math concepts. Had the students complete an art project for Pi Day that many really liked. #bfc530
  • ching__writer Mar 30 @ 5:36 AM EDT
    Fun! when during the day do you play this? Or do all the students generally work better with music on? #bfc530

    When teaching body systems instead of testing Ss create models with moving parts to show function, mosaic cell diagrams #bfc530

    #bfc530 Does LAUNCH stand for anything? what projects have you done?

    Encourage creativity and facilitate opportunities for hands on expression and making, model interest in the arts and help Ss find their passions! #BFC530

    #bfc530 Ugh, I wished I was good at sketchnoting. It's definitely a skill. so do the students sketchnote while you talk or how does this work?

  • BrysonBridget Mar 30 @ 5:45 AM EDT
    I disagree! Not a skill, you just need to find your own rhythm. I think thatโ€™s why our 6th graders are good at it, they donโ€™t care yet-they just DO IT! What it looks like doesnโ€™t matter, it isnโ€™t about the ART, itโ€™s about whether or not you recorded the information #bfc530

    One quick answer from me: I've been reading a book on personality traits. There are 16 altogether and it's all creative traits too. I would want to make sure my students know what they're good at and how they can best hone in their creativity. #bfc530

    It looks rather artsy and fancy to me but if you say so. I guess I'm just used to being a lists sort of person. But I'll try to learn. #bfc530

    I love doing 1 point and 2 point perspective drawings when teaching parallel and perp lines. I speak Spanish everyday within my classroom during transitions. A project I really want to do is build Little Free Libraries w/ Geometry cotaught with Industrial Art T. #BFC530
