Creativity in the ClassroomI wanted to share some of the fun things I did/made/created in the classroom during my practicum. I’m sure you all have heard that I did a bat unit for my class, and as they were grade oners I had to make things visual so that they would understand. Sooo I went bat crazy – some of the kids actually called me the bat lady. I had a lot of fun decorating my area of the classroom, making posters to go along with bats, doing a display bulletin board – I forgot how much work is involved and how time consuming all this is – it took me hours to do the bat posters. However, I found it was all worth it, the posters helped my students so much to understand the difference between mega and micro bats. They were also so thrilled at my decorations and having their bats on display. I also really enjoyed doing all this even though it was time consuming - I always have. It is like an outlet or release being able to make something or create something. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Those posters are fantastic. My daughter did a unit on bats and there was nothing like that in her class. You are already an effective teacher and you have not yet graduated - wow. To have those posters up and always visible totally helped those children learn and internalize concepts. How creative and educational. You are a true talent and will have a great impact in your profession with your integration of your artwork to your effective teaching practices.
I love it! Going Batty! Very quarky ...... kids love that stuff, thanks Cathy
