Think about what you have learned so far through reading, discussion and class activities and reflect on how your ideas might have changed, things you want to learn about teaching (with, in, about, through) the arts, and why they are important in the education of every child.
I think the basic thing that I have learned is just how much the arts can increase the learning that goes on in the classroom. I always thought it was important but I don't think I realized to what extent. I want to learn more activities that I can use in my classroom to be a teacher that teaches through the arts, how I can intergrate it more effectivley.

Reflection #2
Reflect on any new perspectives you have gained about using drama in your future classroom. Why and how do you think you will use drama techniques and strategies? What specific activities do you think you will use most as you begin teaching? What are your thoughts on integrating drama with other curricular areas?
I think I learned this week that as a teacher intergrated arts and drama into the classroom is and can be such a simple thing. I think some teachers think that intergrated art in their classroom is a hard time consuming thing to do, but it doesn't have to be. There are so many possibilities and creative ways that teachers can enrich their lessons with the arts. I definaltley think the music playing while students enter the classroom is an awesome idea and one i will use in my classroom. I think it is a great way to get students adjusted from what they previously were doing and get ready to learn. I think intergrating drama is a great thing and an oppurtunity for students to engage and also come out of their comfort zones to learn.
