Hello everyone!

I hope you are all healthy and doing great! Things are going well for me, and I am happy to be healthy. We have been extremely busy this week. I am so busy with all the tests and assignments. The assignments and tests seem never-ending. As soon as I feel I am on track, then something else comes up. Within a few weeks we will be approaching the end of our last semester and we have lots to do. Are you feeling the same?

Study unit 4 was my focus this week for LSKM. I enjoyed working through the study unit. I learned so many strategies on how to integrate art in foundation phase and the value of integrating it in the classroom.

Some people might say arts integration is a waste of time in Foundation Phase education. Please explain how you would respond to such a statement by explaining your view on arts integration in the Foundation Phase.

The inclusion of art in foundation phase is not a waste of time, I think we should integrate art more into the curriculum. Integrating art in foundation phase is a fun way to learn and will always encourage student engagement in the classroom. Using art in foundation phase can help children develop their creative minds and improve their thinking skills in other subjects as well. It helps a lot with socialising as well.

Integrating arts has a lot of benefits for the teacher and the child, and it is definitely something that we should use in the foundation phase classroom.

Which aspects of study unit 4 did you find the most interesting and challenging?

It was so interesting for me to learn about how integration of arts can help a child and how it can help a teacher to make learning fun. I found this interesting because it can help a lot with using arts in my classroom one day.

I did not find anything challenging in the study unit. This study unit was really interesting and I learned a lot more about integrating art in foundation phase.

 

This study unit is so useful for when I want to integrate art in my classroom. I believe that integrating arts is really important in foundation phase and should be used more.

I hope you all enjoyed this study unit as much as I did. I learned a lot in this study unit and will definitely use the information for the future.

I have to say goodbye for now… 

Hope you have a amazing week further and I hope you make great progress with the assignments and tests!

Keep well and stay safe!

Goodbye.
