Field Experience

I really enjoyed field experience these past few weeks. It was really rewarding to work first hand with the students and see how great it is to be a teacher. Our lessons which implemented creative arts were one where we had the students use movements in dance to portray what they thought of vocabulary words in our Mountain Man unit. The other lesson used process drama while conducting a readers theater having to do with Mountain Men. The students seemed to enjoy both lessons and it was great to see them learn and grow while using creative arts with the unit. I am excited to be a teacher in the near future and be able to use more creative arts while teaching my students. I have seen first hand that by implementing creative arts, our students will be able to retain more information while learning, because it has been taught in a creative way and they remember more while learning.
