Collage




This was another activity that we related to our pumpkin patch adventure. We created a mural of different aspects of the trip. This shows the students artistic side with drawing a mural where anything can be drawn anywhere. I let the artist's go to work and I helped mostly with the coloring. This was an experience to reflect on what activities we had just done and it helped me as a student with remembering the activities because of this mural. As a teacher I want to find ways to mold information into the students brains where they can remember information more clearly. Reflecting about what we did helps the students to remember the facts about our trip. I know that all the activities we related to our pumpkin patch will never be forgotten with me. The activities that were created with this experience helped me to keep a memory and know better information about the subject. This is what I want to push in my classroom, where students do not choose whether they want to learn the information but that there are activities that just keep your mind working but also keeping a memory in your head to hopefully learn from the subject while doing the activity.
