At Promise Student
Yesterday we did a performance in the Human Development course at York University, which is apart of the BEd program. My friend Tyler and I partnered up for this performance which was to represent an ‘at promise’ student. I chose to represent a low level student in an HSP program, where Tyler chose to represent a gifted student. Both students we felt were not having their needs met in their educational growth.

Pop Ups!
As you may have already noticed from previous blog posts, I am a little addicted to pop ups! This week in the Arts Integration course we learned some new awesome Pop Up skills. I was able to teach these techniques to the grade 7 & 8′s at my current placement. So much fun, and so magical.

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.

Triarama
Exploring the arts is always fun in the Arts Integration course at York University. This week we made triarama’s, which is like a diorama, but with only 3 sides. I wanted to use this activity for my geography lesson, but wasn’t able to due to time constraints! I hope to use this art activity in the future.

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!
