Cindy
Intense, playful, good-natured, helpful
Sister of Martin – and, Mother of Martin and John
Lover of justice, reading, and teaching
Who feels anxious and excited on the first days of school,
outraged when people bully others, elated when children are kind
to one another
Who needs peace and quiet at the end of a long day, to say “I
love you” every morning before work and school, to make the
beds before we’re off and running each and every day
Who gives encouragement to all students, kindness to everyone,
many hugs to Martin and John
Who fears being alone at night, very large dogs when taking
walks, scary movies
Who would like to see all of you receive an A in this course,
worldwide peace, only cheerful people

ATIONS – BY SHEL SILVERSTEIN
If we meet and I say, "Hi,"
That's a salutation.
If you ask me how I feel,
That's consideration.
If we stop and talk awhile,
That's a conversation.
If we understand each other,
That's communication.
If we argue, scream and fight,
That's an altercation.
If later we apologize,
That's reconciliation.
If we help each other home,
That's cooperation.
And all these ations added up
Make civilization.
(And if I say this is a wonderful poem,
Is that exaggeration?)

Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences:
Connections to
Integrating Curriculum and Instruction with the Arts for
the Developing Child
Once Upon A Time:

Multiple Intelligences:
IT’S NOT HOW SMART YOU ARE – IT’S HOW YOU ARE
SMART!
*Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences*
• Learning styles research is predominantly used to understand learning preferences that students use to receive and/or process information. Obviously, the ideal is to create instruction that will address all three learning styles: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic.
• Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences has received an overwhelming response from educators. Gardner offers seven different ways to demonstrate intellectual ability and has recently added an eighth intelligence. Understanding how students demonstrate their intellectual capacity is an important factor in designing instruction that will meet the specific learning needs of students who may be dominant in one or several intelligence as opposed to other forms of intelligence.

SMARTY PANTS
We have an achievement gap partly because we have an arts gap
among the haves and the have not children.
(Annenberg Institute for School Reform, 2003)
Why has arts integration become a focus of school reform?
Relationship between education and the arts is complex and there is a long
history
Johann Comenius (1592- 1670) argued that “things, not words…change
school from prison to a scholae ludus (play site), where curiosity is aroused
and satisfied.”
He urged teachers to “Stop Beatings” – thus, to reduce rote memorization
and engage the child’s interest through music and games and through
handling objects, through posing problems (project learning) and stirring
imagination by dramatic accounts of the big world.
Four hundred years later we thankfully have stopped the beatings.
The most recent National Assessment of Education Progress, a
congressionally mandated standardized test, released new findings that
show the reading skills of high school students aren’t improving. Scores
are flat. Two thirds of American adolescents read at or below grade level.
We have to do more than stop the beatings. Some schools are. An
increasing number of schools are becoming Comenius schools – without
even knowing it.
Now numbering in the hundreds, these “arts-based” schools are popping
up in every state and in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
Arts integration is part of a broad-based revival of interest in whole child
learning translating into long-term differences in children’s personal,
emotional, and cognitive growth.
. . .
. . .
. . .
Arts integration goes beyond using art, singing, and drama for self-
expression.
The arts contribute to an overall cultured of excellence in schools.
The arts are vital communication vehicles that connect students to one
another and give them an understanding of their creative ancestry.
The arts provide a ready way to perceive new relationships, to notice
patterns and connect ideas across school subjects.
Works of art and artistic thinking link social studies, mathematics, science,
and geography “opening lines of inquiry, revealing that art, like life, is lived in
a complex world not easily defined in discrete subjects.
The arts is said to focus on what American Education is supposed to do:
(1) cause students to think at higher levels; (2) respect diverse perspectives
and cultures; (3) to be motivated to do excellent work; (4) to take risks and
persevere against the odds; (5) to value democratic ideas; (6) and to
continue learning throughout life.
Paul Torrance, 1973

1. PLEASE BE PREPARED WITH AN ARTIFACT BAG FOR NEXT WEEK’S CLASS. YOUR
ARTIFACT BAG SHOULD BE IN THE FORM OF A BROWN PAPER LUNCH BAG DECORATED
WITHOUT YOUR NAME APPEARING ON THE BAG AND / OR INSIDE THE BAG. INSIDE THE
BAG SHOULD CONTAIN 5-7 (OR MORE) ITEMS THAT DISPLAY YOUR INTERESTS,
HOBBIES, ETC. ARTIFACT BAGS MAY INCLUDE PERSONAL ITEMS THAT FOCUS ON
TRAVEL, FOOD, ENTERTAINMENT, ETC. DO NOT INCLUDE ITEMS THAT IDENTIFY WHO
YOU ARE (I.E. NO PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPHS THAT INCLUDE YOU IN THE
PICTURE). THE GOAL IS FOR US TO LEARN ABOUT YOU AND DISCOVER WHO THE
ARTIFACT BAGS MAY BELONG TO BASED ON WHAT IS INSIDE EACH AND EVERY
ARTIFACT BAG. THUS, WE WILL ATTEMPT TO GUESS WHO YOU ARE THROUGH AN
INVESTIGATION OF EACH ARTIFACT BAG.
