Journal #8

It's important for children to be creative early on in life. Creativity is a different way of thinking and combines imagination and thought. It helps us to come up with a new way of thinking and making new connections. It helps us to imagine and come up with our own ideas. Creativity can help us to solve life's problems in a way that's our own. Creativity is important to teach young children because it gives them the chance to think outside of the box. It helps them to come up with their own ideas and ways of thinking. It gives children the chance to be themselves and go into their own worlds. In music, we can give children the chance to make up their own songs using their singing voices or even bu using classroom instruments. Like we did in class this week, we can have children make up their own stories using their voices. Children can make up different sounds to the stories that their teachers read to them in class. We can even ask children to make-up their own movements to songs that the teacher plays during class.
For my culture project, I would like to do either Greece or Italy. I'm both Greek and Italian so I'll do whatever culture I can find more information on. If I do my project on Greece, I would like to incorporate some Greek dancing.
