Dance #5

Dance
I was a little nervous about the dance segment of this class. I am not very coordinated, although I always wished I could have been a dancer. I love to watch dance, I just don't feel like I am talented in it. After the first lesson, with the Where the Wild Things Are activity I changed my mind about dance in the classroom. I think it is a very cool thing to incorporate and I want to be able to use it in my classroom. After watching the movie on the last day or class I feel that movement, and all the arts, are VERY important to incorporate in the classroom. It makes me sad that lots of schools and districts and cutting out the arts. That is just a disadvantage to the children. I am still nervous about using a lesson in field, but we are going to do it! Hopefully we can make a dance/movement lesson fit with what we are teaching. I need to be more confident in my capabilities so that my students will feel more confident in what they are asked to do.
I enjoyed the group project, although we did struggle coming up with an idea. Once we got together and came up with the idea, it was easy from there on out.
