Rod Puppets

This week we created rod puppets using Crayola’s Model Magic. This was one of my favorite projects yet! I’m excited to create puppets during my teaching placement. This is a fabulous way of integrating literacy into any subject.

The Arts Part: Arts & Literacy

I just received my certificate for taking the course; The Arts Part: Arts & Literacy. I learned from the wonderful instruction of: Kathy Lundy, Junia Mason, Heather Miller, and Karen Steffenson.

This course was 5 full Saturdays starting in the new year, and I was completely inspired! We were taught different approaches to integrating the arts into literacy, or literacy into the arts. Every week was spent focusing on a particular art (ie. Visual, Dance, Drama & Music). The final week we put all of the art forms together! I had so much fun, and I am excited to use this information in my current practicum placement. Below is an image of the mask I made in the Visual Arts week, which we also used for Drama and Dance!
