@heathervargas22 I have been including more opportunitiea for acting out scenes from our read alouds, and including more art and music as a way to study new math concepts.

A3 to Q3
I have noticed that the art strategies have increased student participation in the classroom.

[Mayra Plascencia @mcplascencia]

@artfulartsyamy A1 to Q1. I have been allowing students in first grade to show their thinking in science, using more pictures or drawings.

[Mayra Plascencia @mcplascencia]

A5 to Q5. My greatest take away was that as teachers, we must allow students to show their thinking in ways other than speaking or writing, specially our SWD. #EquAALs

[Mayra Plascencia @mcplascencia]

SWD have been positively impacted by art integration. There is less frustration as they are learning that they can express themselves through drawings or acting, and not only through writing.

A3 to Q3. Students have definitely loved art integration. It is so powerful when students find their voice and see themselves as artist. #equaals

[Mayra Plascencia @mcplascencia]

A2 to Q2. I definitely feel that the strategy of visualizing or "mind movies" is very powerful, specially when reading a chapter book to first graders.

A1 TO Q1. One art strategy that I have been doing in my classroom is allowing students to draw to show their knowledge, or as a way to take notes in first grade.

Play is time spent without purpose. It is often where our creativity is born. Kids and adults need to loosen up and just play.
