Música and Movement Lesson Reflection

Msica and Movement Lesson Reflection:
During art lesson, I observed the children were so happy to come in front of class to
dance and present the song, they loved to work with their friends, and at the same time
they were practice and achieved LO. When I requested children to perform the five little
monkeys song I felt they didnt understood which movements they have to do when
they hear specific part, that made me upset; therefore, I tried to apply Albert Bandura
approach by modeled the movement of each part in front of them. For example, when I
sing jumping on the bed I jumped, so the children will realize the word jump with
action they saw it and its really worked with them and I actually found its better for
children to show them example instead of given instructions. (Shirley & Peter, 2011, p.
53). Furthermore, think that I was able to show student accountability and make learning
visible by document children work through used checklist, take photos, observe their
skills and writing notes about their understood and achieved LO. According to Reggio
Emilia documentation principals, it's believed that teachers use documentation to
identify strengths, ideas, and next steps to support learning. ("What Is the Reggio,"
2018). I believe that children get the concept of the unit and achieved the LO in an
interested way. According to Sama Amacrine School curriculum, the learning objective
of math unites for week 6 names the numbers from one to five, match quantity of the
object to the number that corresponds to volume and starts understanding counting
operation with sample numbers from one to five. ("Curriculum," 2017). I recognized that
when I heard all of them had the ability to name number 1 to 5 when they singed. Also,
when I assessed them they were able to match the number with the quantity of
movements. For example, when I asked Ibrahim to domesticate number 5 he clapped his
hand 5 times.
While I faced two issues through implemented the lesson. The first problem was
shortage of time that hindered me to complete my project because I cant take them out
from their classes result of that I discuss with MST to find solution to do my project and
she suggested me to take them in Monday and Wednesday just 10 marinates from art
lesson and I followed her advice and I took them two days in the week in activity room.
The second difficulty is some children are refused to took monkeys role when I asked
them who want to perform monkey role three of them refused because they thought they
will be like a monkey and one of them named Hala she side am not animal that really
shocked me!! but I was deal with this situation by discuss with them and explained the
monkey role of them by said monkey is a friendly animal and we are, not monkeys but
we will act like it by jumping only and I observed they respond and agree to took
monkey role but Fatima she still rejected as consequences I used Positive
reinforcement approach with her. For example, I told her if you participate with us and
take monkey role I will give star, and its worked with her and she changes her mind
quickly. According to Skinner, he believes positive reinforcement strengthens a
behavior by providing a consequence individual finds rewarding. (McLeod, 2015).
Overall, I think its important to teach children art lessons because as stated in
Supporting Creativity and Imagination book, Duffy considered the art is assisting
children to develop their language by having the vocabulary to describe and comment on
what they do. For example, in Five little monkeys song children learned some
movement words such as jump, call, and fall. (Duffy, 2006, p. 8). Arts activities are
provided different learning styles, as we know each person has a unique way to learn. For
example, my project contains VAK learning styles, visual when I showed children the
video song, so they will learn the actions by watched, auditory when they heard the song
and kinetic when they move their bodies to imitate the movements happened. According
to Duffy, he believes that the way in which our perceptions are turned into images,
stored and used, will depend on the individual. (Duffy, 2006, p. 21).
