I was just one of those days with a lot of changes and obstacles in the way to overcome. One of those days that everything small thing wants to make you cry and you don't know why and misses all your loved ones.

I read in our study unit 4 that some people may say that art integration is a waste of time in Foundation Phase education, but I don't agree with this. I believe that the integration of art in the foundation phase plays a big role in the development of children's imagination and their way of looking at things. Children needs to be creative, for most of them it is a way to express emtions or feelings they can't express with words. Art helps children to expirement and learn new things sometimes about themselves and how they view certain things.

As I continued further on through the study unit I was interesting to learn about the arts integration theory. It was very insightful for me to learn about all the different parts about this theory. Especially about the ways you can combine mathematics with art integration. I also loved to have read through the ideas for art integration. It gave me some ideas to work on when I have my own class one day.

The activities that we had to compile at the end of the study unit was quite challenging for me, even though the ideas was well put together and gave me good ideas to work on, was it still not so easy to compile my own activities and did it take quite a few creative brainstormings and research to be able to compile a fun, but learningfull, activities.
