So what has changed my understanding of children's creative dance? It has helped me to understand what is being taught in the curriculum. It helped me to feel good applying creative dance in almost any area of the curriculum (math, science, social studies, etc.) It helped me to realize that they are truly applying the information that is being taught to them. By them doing, they will remember and retain the information for a much longer time than actually reading out of a textbook. Plus, it is a lot more fun for them to be able to be involved together as a class and individually.
So what will I be taking with me of my experience teaching, participating, and learning about creative dance? The experience I felt that I had was that I was tired by the time all of the lessons were taught, but it helped me to retain the information much more effectively rather than reading it out of a textbook. It helped me to have fun and be involved with my other classmates by solving and figuring out problems and how we would work it out well together. It helped me to be able to pass this onto my future students and for them to be able to enjoy the same experience as well by being taught well and remembering the information and the fun they had too.
Now what do I plan to teach for my future students and how will I prepare for that? I hope to teach them information that they may have a more difficult time understanding, but I hope to be able to have them meet at least once a week in the gym and be taught a standard through creative dance. It will be a time that they can look forward to every week and that I will be able to look forward to it as well. I hope that I can teach math concepts, science lessons, music lessons, and many more lessons throughout my teaching career. It will be different from other teachers and I hope that I can help them to feel like they are a part and involved in their own classroom too.
