Reflection #5

To me, music is anything you can tap your foot too, anything that has a beat or a rhythm. Music should be included in elementary school because it gives kids a chance to express themselves through a different way. Through the process I was engaged in to create our music lesson, is that music really can be fun. You dont have to be a good singer, or be able to carry a tune. You just have to be able to let go and have some fun. From our presentaion I learned that it really was not as hard as I first thought. We found words to work with our song very well and I thought it turned out good! I want to bring in music into my classroom, along with all the other elements of art we have been taught.

With our team presentaion, I made of the chourus of the song and also made up the actions to the song. I have learned that when working with teams, it can become strssful. Sometimes it is so hard to be able to all get together at the same time. We all have families, jobs and some of us have kids, which that in itself, makes it hard to find the time. We made it all work though and I think it turned out great.
