Study unit 4
This week for me is better than all the weeks since the start of this semester. Yes the work is hectic but I’m starting to cope a little better.
Arts integration is not a waste of time in the Foundation Phase education. It helps learners in many ways to grasp content they didn’t understand before.
•    Arts in the form of music, dancing, drama and more arts activities boosts the learners self-confidence and their self-esteem.
•    It boosts their social skills, helps them with the sense of solving conflicts, to be empathetic towards others and to work well in groups.
•    Arts integration keeps them engaged in learning, it gives the lesson a boost not to be boring for them.
The aspect of study unit 4 that I found interesting is the fact that when young people are involved with the arts, something changes in their lives, I’ve seen it its true. For instance when they were in a foul mood and they are asked to draw how they are feeling right now, when they are done with their drawing you find that that mood is gone and the learner is a back to their normal self.  
What I found challenging is the part of development through teaching in music, from music, with music, on music, about music and through music. I don’t understand this part and I want to read more on it this weekend.

Good bye and have a lovely weekend everybody
Till next time!!!
Ciao!
