Martha's Teaching Demo

In reflecting on today's teaching demo by Martha, I thought it was quite an interesting lesson. I did think of alot of ways to incorporate this lesson with my students for the upcoming school year. I was very impressed with all of the different skills that the lesson touched on as well as relating it to a book which is not just a text book. Children will definitely love all of the hands-on activities since Art is to be incorporated in our individual classrooms. However, you could definitely have alot of fun with the writing activities as well. I did like the suggestion that Don made regarding that everything to accompany this lesson would not have to be graded or checked by the teacher. I liked seeing the work samples that Martha brought with her to display and set the stage for an elementary classroom. It was quite funny to see and hear the enthusiastic comments by the adults in this class when we were hanging their monster masks on the wall. Young child love to see their work displayed for others to view. Great Job, Martha!
