Joining Curriculums
I am lucky enough to have a program called "Project Connections" at my school. During this time teachers and I team teach about about a subjects they are working on in class. We infuse art with all subjects! Teachers sign up a week or two in advance for a lesson. Sometimes teachers have an exact idea of what they want to do but need a little help organizing how to do it and are not sure what materials to use. Other times they tell me they are working on a particular subject and ask if I have any ideas for lessons. Together we come up with a lesson for all types of learners!!
In the lesson above worked in five groups all doing the same lesson. They were asked to outline one of their bodies then they had to draw certain organs. We used various types of pasta to make the bones. We talked about joints and how you would need a smaller type of pasta where the joint was. I this lesson really helped our "visual learners"!
