Field experience is over. It was fun getting to know the students in 5th grade. It was challenging, but fun to teach from our lesson plans.
Our cooperating teacher liked our lessons and so did the students. They enjoyed learning social studies in a more creative way. We taught from a primary source which was a painting of "The Death of John Wolfe", taught them the "Turkey Dance", had the students write and illustrate posters, create journals of Lewis and Clark (some included sketches), and probably the most memorable was the debate between the Loyalists and the Patriots.
The students enjoyed these activities that we implemented art into. I plan on continuing to compile ideas for creative art activities for future use in the classroom.
