Instead, children can be provided with large, age-appropriate blocks to construct robots. Scenario 2 reflects positive forethought and planning in the teacher's explanation regarding traffic flow; however sand can still be extremely messy, even outdoors. Children must have a place to clean themselves before re-entering the classroom. Using modeling clay or other materials might be more feasible given the cleanup needs of a classroom. Scenario 3 is a good idea in that it uses arts and crafts to reflect the lessons learned on a field trip but some food cartons can be sharp or unsanitary; they must be selected carefully. In Scenario 4, rather than defaulting to the modern obsession with technology like iPads, the teacher should take measures to make the hands-on clay modeling station more attractive.
UNIT 5 DISCUSSION
My earliest musical experiences involved singing in the classroom; my early childhood educators were strong singers but unfortunately I am not. My own musical limitations are my greatest concern but I hope to make use of group sing-a-longs and physical movement during music classes to address these concerns. If a parent objected I would explain that children's musical...
It is also participatory, as every student can suggest a different body part to wave in and out. It also teaches about various parts of the child's body.
For children ages 5-8, more sophisticated song lyrics like "On Top of Spaghetti" helps reinforce concepts such as creative imagery, humor, and inventive use of language which will help them in their language arts classes as well as in music. Students can receive copies of the song lyrics and be asked to illustrate them as well as sing them. They can also use the format of the song (which is a rewriting of a more traditional tune) to generate other simple songs of their own making with silly lyrics.
UNIT 6 DISCUSSION
Music has a very important role in a child's early development. Music can provide an important supportive role in helping children express themselves. Children can enhance their vocabulary through singing along and also making up their own songs. Singing gives students important creative tools and enables them to distinguish between sounds.

Called Bauhaus, "house for building," the school combined the role of artisans and craftspeople and included everything from architecture to theater to typography. When the school was forced to close during the Nazi regime in 1932, many of its artists moved to
The idea is that imposing a concentration of coursework in reading, writing and arithmetic will make us more competitive with the world and better prepared for the future. According to Robinson, what the policymakers have failed to take into account is that the world is changing faster than ever in our history. He believes that the best hope for the future is to develop a new paradigm of human
Culture I come from a mixed background, and my culture has been influenced also by various normative elements in American society. The Cuban side of my family has stressed the importance of frequent cultural gatherings and a strong emphasis on food, drink, and other social elements of celebration.

Art and Politics "Light being the very essence of our existence, a work of art that is not concerned with light has no right to exist." (Rosso 23) The eye takes in and processes a world of information all at once. We do not even fully recognize all of the inputs that the brain processes. In fact, the brain is still more sophisticated than the world's most powerful computer. These facts have

The very act of simply experiencing the art of an artist can have profound effects on the
