My student teacher has only two weeks left, so I'm beginning to take back my Kindergarten groups and picking up where I left off. While I have sat back and thought about changing up my style of teaching, I still see the need to give them the buffet of options from which to choose.
If they never try weaving, how will they know if they enjoy it or not?
Perhaps with the younger ones I need to wait and cover a few more methods and materials before I open up their options. I could break down the steps of teaching for artistic behavior and add step one first of coming up with the idea independently instead of dictated by me. This could work well for the backgrounds for their tree sculptures.
Alright now that I have one step to implement next week, I can reward myself with the first cup of coffee (it's always the best one!).
