Specialists!!

Today, I had the opportunity to stay a little later than usual because my college courses got cancelled. I was pretty excited because I got to experience what happens in the afternoons! In the afternoons the students have specialists (art, gym, music, and media). Particularly, today they had music and gym. For about 30 minutes we were in a music classroom, then transferred to about 30 minutes in the gym. Each teacher had different ways of classroom management. I thought each teacher was creative in their own ways of getting the students attention, and the students seems to respond very well to each technique. The students loved singing in music class! They were so excited to be up and moving around. Because of my observations, one of my goals when I become a teacher is to incorporate music within my classroom. Has anyone else gone to their classroom specialists? If so, what did you think about the experience?

  1. Which grade do you have Libby? I think it is unique that they have two specials in one day, because our class only goes to one a day. Our class also loves music as well, they sing loud and proud. I think it is great that you are thinking of incorporating music into your future classroom. My partner and I got to sit in and watch music for a little bit. It was fascinating to see how they respond differently to a separate teacher. The students really seem to enjoy their specials.
