Davina David: encourage creativity, let children express themselves

Barrett Alosa: I never really cared for history, and was frequently bored in class. I was always an A student, got a full ride to college, etc. but I struggled in History because I found it boring or irrelavent.If the teacher dedicated a bit of time each day discussing how that day's lesson applied to current situations--with a class discussion--that would interest me more. I don't think we really understand the importance of history until we are older, and it would be great to actively educate kids about that.Also: movies are always good, if used wisely.

Sabra Roers: Art is a another way of thinking and using the brain. It contributes to developing creativity - not just the crayon and paper type of art - but it transfers to other subjects in solving problems and using higher critical thinking skills. It is also building motor skills and s! ocial skills as well. A project that uses art materials - (let's make a volcano out of plaster) is NOT an art project. It simply uses art materials. So if you are planning to integrate art into your lesson plan, refer to the federal standards, the state standards and your district standards in visual art. An art objective is very specific and has learning components that increase knowledge, comprehension, analysis and synthesis. If you are a teacher, you are familiar with Bloom's Taxonomy. The best thing about teaching elementary art - most kids love it! And if you love what you are doing then your kids will catch that enthusiasm! Good luck....Show more
Woodrow Neyman: Art is the vehicle of the imagination. When you take art out of the curriculum, you leave the vivid imaginations of children starved. With the current trend in accelerating education, art becomes even more important. How can you possibly teach a child about, say, visual color range if the child has! no experience in mixing colors, how they work with, and even ! against each other in a visual setting? How can you teach a child to understand the meaning of something if you give them no excercise in creative thinking by exposing them to, and letting them explore, even the most basic arts? I volunteer in my grand daughters classroom doing "art" projects with the kids. We have taken rice krispies bar mix and formed it into "spooky" shapes (a double treat because they got to eat them)...made turkeys out of sponges to decorate the table with.....done bark and stone rubbings then cut them into shapes and used the shapes to make fall pictures....made our own tenograms.....and this coming month we'll use rock candy strings to make snowflakes, and two more things I am still thinking up! Anything can be an opportunity to incorporate art. reading....give them colored paper and ask them to cut shapes for the characters in the story...is a mean person sharp and pointy or all soft and curvy-round? Social Studies...pieces of cloth to create a flag! , or a native costume.... the possibilities are endless..............Show more

Rebbecca Sorkin: We need art in elementary schools. They need to express themselves. It also helps with their learning abilities. Have them do a project or while you ara teaching have them right out the answer or draw it out...
Arden Strachn: i've got faith babies ought to learn by capacity of occasion. you could carry forth all day long yet while your babies are observing you doing distinctive, then it extremely is the place the questions start up. Love compassion and archives and forgiveness must be first on the checklist. yet we must additionally exemplify those features to our turning out to be destiny. we are the teachers to our youthful.
Collin Pelfrey: I was always drawn to history as a kid but did struggle greatly with my history classes. I found it to be tough with lecture, lecture, read the book section and do a worksheet, repeat process until the ! end of the chapter and unit test followed. It was too much info to ret! ain, and I was smart kid who did well in all my other classes. What helped as when I took a history class in college and all of a sudden there were pictures and documentary videos. Hallelujah! That was the ticket for me - the visual component beyond the little ones in the textbook. Now that I am a teacher myself (though not a history teacher), I have seen what one history teacher in our building does. He incorporates way cool hands on things in his American History class. When they learned about Henry Ford and the use of an assembly line, he had the kids in groups plan how to make PBJ sandwiches on an assembly line, then one day each group did it via demonstration and they were able to see differences and apply different ideas. They absolutely loved it. That's just one idea. With imagination, it all comes together. The kids love the class and retain things so well.
Riley Migl: I like a story teller. I like a good old-fashioned lecture, as long as I can ask ! questions because I can't stand to hear the same voice for too long. I hate group work.My students love my ppts. here they are: sunsetrules.googlepages.com
Caleb Chapman: One year I had a history teacher who just put questions on the board. We were to answer them on paper while he read the newspaper - EVERY DAY. That wasn't effective.Then, I had an advanced social studies class with a teacher who encouraged discussion and actively taught critical thinking skills, even how to analytically eliminate multiple choice answers on tests. (That was helpful). Her class was very engaging.I try to do the same for my students and vary the routine. Sometimes instead of reading the textbook, we'll read a reproducible comic with the same information. Or I assign topics and the students teach the lesson. History always seems to be my students' favorite subject (I teach seven daily)....Show more
Todd Stogner:
Claudio Drullard: I think that art is very important ! for kids because they can expand their creativity and imagination throu! gh art. It can and should be a means of expression as well as creativity. It should not matter whether a child is "talented" in art, sculpting, drawing, etc., but rather that they can feel comfortable to use art as a means of communication, expressing their feelings and thoughts and ideas.
William Vickerman: One of my children is so much obsessed with playing lego and recently addicted watching TV. Tomorrow is a big day - start of school. I want to kick start his study habit. What is the best motivational method that guarantees he will establish a study habit to all his lesson?
Jorge Detlefs: We need art in Elementary school because I don't have enough CRAP on my refrigerator :)
Natalya Sydney: The quandary that many parents end up in is they do not have the full time to search for the proper eBook s and learning design with which to instruct their kids but with this particular program https://tr.im/1r84J , Children Learning Reading this problem is arrived! at a end.Children Learning Reading is very comprehensive, and your child can have no issues assimilating the classes since the classes are well-designed. Since the system is based on phonetics, the educational method is gradual.In Children Learning Reading program the classes are unique and can't be present in other learning methods....Show more
Tomi Vauters: Art has a very important role in an elementary or high school curriculum. It's definitely more than just making crap to go on the fridge! Students that are active in the fine arts have better creativity and higher order thinking skills (ability to evaluate, make predictions, etc) See Bloom's Taxonomy for more info. Art encourages students to think outside the box and problem solve in many different types of situations. For students that have trouble succeeding in math, science, and reading, art can provide an area of success and motivation. Also, students that are active in a fine arts program tend to do be! tter on standardized tests, such as those that are given to collect dat! a for the oh so wonderful (ha!) No Child Left Behind Act....Show more
Rufus Plough: it's important to recognize that each child is motivated by different things. it seems like you already know what motivates your son- legos and tv. use this to your (and his) advantage. if he is doing homework on addition and subtraction, use legos to model this. if he is studying spelling words, have him form the letters from the words out of legos. many young boys are kinestetic (moving) learners, so this will not only motivate him, but also help him learn. just be creative! tell him that he can't watch tv until he has completed his studies to your satisfaction. good luck =)...Show more
Nona Lentini: A good idea could be to fascinate him with interactive learning, such as math games or english games for all age levels (there are a lot of them on the internet that are free).You could also teach him that studying is very important and sit down with him and show him how he should ! study for school :) Hope he has a great first day, good luck!
Idell Syed: I think it's because they want children to become creative. You could make projects about George Washington or an artist and have them draw that person or make their own version of their artwork. Give them projects that consist of written and art work.
Mee Blumenfeld: A great teacher! ;-)
Derrick Kloke: Turning history into stories rather than just dates to be memorized. History was not my favorite, but when I got to hear the stories about what started a war, details that lead to an event, or resulted from an event, it helped me to better remember and understand history.
Chauncey Williama: because it teaches kids to open up their mind and be creative.not enough kids know how to do that and its important
Joey Mekeel: There are 5 plus salaries
Donny Bankson: Try creating a schedule for him. He studies for a certain amount of time a day (with or without breaks, depe! nding on how long you want him to study for), and THEN he can watch TV ! for a certain amount of time and play lego for as long as he wants... until bedtime. Establishing a schedule helps kids to focus more on the task at hand. As long as he KNOWS he's gonna get his TV or play time, he'll be okay with working for a bit. You can also try making a start chart for him. Make a table with a list of subjects he has to study, and after he's done with each one, he gets to stick a sticker under the subject name. And at the end, his prize is time to do what he wants. Also, try to incorporate things he likes into his studies. He likes legos, so use legos for Math, he likes to watch TV, so use a character on one of his TV shows as an example for something (Social studies, English, etc.). Good luck! :)...Show more

Salvatore Walls: They comprehend all approximately it. they are 5 yrs previous and their dad has been deployed two times. i'm additionally a veteran, yet have been given out of the army in the pas! t they have been born. teenagers at the instant could desire to renowned that being a soldier is sweet. they could desire to renowned that there is extra to being a soldier than what they see on video games.
