My pre-internship was an absolutely amazing learning experience! For three weeks I was welcomed into Mrs. Lori Holland’s grade three classroom at St. Gabriel Elementary School in Regina, Saskatchewan.
During these three weeks I taught a full arts education unit focused all on dance! We had so much fun learning about different types of movement and the dance elements. For teaching the dance elements we focused on the acronym Dr. Best (check out the poster below to see for yourself what the elements of dance are). I included a small inquiry project for my grade threes to explore a cultural dance of their choosing and learn about it. I was so impressed with their researching and engagement in this small project! We then ended the unit by the students creating their own dances. Overall, my unit went awesome and I found I only had to adjust a few lessons to meet my overall goals.
