While in a 3rd grade class and the sixth grade class I have noticed a few ways the teacher has actively engaged the students. In the sixth grade class to help them learn their math, he has them rap out one of their songs. He will play background music with a beat and the kids stand up and cross their arms like they are rappers. It so cute. the girls have a different part then the boys and they all love it so much. He also has them go up in front of the class once a week and teach one of their math problems to the other students. So that he knows they understand it.
During P.E. time he had the kids get into groups and they played different games. Each team pics a leader and the leader directs the rest of the team. In the third grade class she had them do different art projects on the subject that they were learning and paint a picture about. She also had them playing games in groups to help their math skills, such as monopoly or Life. I have come up with a few ideas while observing these teachers and its such a simple thing to have the children actively engaged. It makes learning more fun. I want to involve music in my classroom and have the children have set groups that they are involved in. So they make friends and they understand the meaning of a team. And I want to have activities and art in the children's lives incorporated with their math and English I feel it will be an overall better experience for the children and the teacher.
