Day 5- All Good Things Must Come to an End

Today was an exciting day at A K Wigg Public School, it was so great to see some of the strategies we learned in class used on real live students. It was so fascinating to see how intrigued and engaged the littles ones were. They were learning about equality but they barely saw it as a lesson they were having so much fun! Getting up and moving around is so beneficial for all children, it breaks up there day and get their blood flowing! It is so awesome to see children participate in the drama strategies. Children are so laid back and young they are not embarrassed or unsure in the same way adults are. It didn't bother them that there were 20 adults in the room they did not know they still got crazy acting like chickens. Children appreciate drama so much and when they are so young they just so excited to be having fun!

It was also a great day to see how far everyone in the class of teacher candidates has come. I got the feeling that most people were nervous or unsure about teaching drama, but now they feel more confident and comfortable. It was wonderful to see all the different strategies people picked to show their journey, I was quite impressed by the creativity some people came up with. I really loved the graffiti/quilt strategy. What a fantastic way to conclude something, it is very neat for everyone to write something they learned or something they took away from the lesson and then put it all together. I think this would be fantastic in a classroom to show the class what they completed and to share with others.
