In a lesson that integrates science with visual arts, the teacher will start by reading a book to the class called Claudia and the Moth by Jennifer Hansen Rolli. The class will listen as the teacher reads aloud and show pictures of each page. Students will learn that butterflies migrate during the cold months, but moths are still flying around. Students will understand the difference between a moth and butterfly. The teacher will specifically point out the white round spots on the moths back and have children brainstorm what those could be used for. Next the teacher will show a diagram of a moth from google and together, the class and teacher, will described the features of a moth. Students will learn that the purpose of the round white spots on the moth’s wings are to scare away predators. Now that the students understand the difference between a butterfly and a moth they will draw their very own moth on a blank piece of paper. Students will have 15 minutes to create their own version of a moth using colors of their choice. To meet the requirements of the science standard (SC.K.N.1.4) the students must draw two large white dots on the wings, which is a major feature of a moth. Once the students are done creating their moth, they will present their works of art to the class (VA.K.C.1.1) and tell one fact they learned about moths to their classmates. A3a. The work of art being used for this lesson is Claudia and the Moth by Jennifer Hansen Rolli. A3b. The work of art used in the lesson that integrates science with visual arts, is the children’s book Claudia and the Moth by Jennifer Hansen Rolli. It supports the learning activity because it explains the differences between a moth and butterfly in a fun and creative way. It is a fiction story that young students can easily follow and relate to. The illustrations are captivating and will spark ideas for students when they begin to create their own moth. It makes learning fun and more beneficial. A4. For SC.K.N.1.4 the students observed a moth with the teachers and how it protects itself against predators. After this they made their visual representation by drawing their own moth and included a major feature (two large dots on the wings). To incorporate VA.K.C.1.1 the students got creative and drew a moth using any colors they wanted. Once they finished, they presented their moth to the class along with one fact they learned about moths. It is important to integrate the Arts into lessons because it helps students express and learn in a more effective way. B. Theater and Social Studies B1.

In a lesson that integrates social studies and theater, the teacher will start by reading to the class Hornbooks and Inkwells by Verla Kay. The students will listen as the teachers reads aloud. Students will learn about how families lived in the past and their daily routines. The teacher will have students sit in a circle. The teacher will give students a scenario of a modern family sitting down to eat dinner. The teacher will start off the activity by saying a phrase. (ex. “We were all having a peaceful dinner until…”) The students will then one by one add to the story while standing up to act out their phrase. Students will experience the difference and similarities between families in the past and modern families. Students will write one difference and one similarity in a Venn diagram to show understanding. B3a. Hornbooks and Inkwells by Verla Kay B3b. The work of art used in this lesson that integrates social studies and theater, is Hornbooks and Inkwells by Verla Kay. It supports the learning activity because it is a perfect example of families from the past. It is mainly about two younger siblings who go about their daily lives in 18th century. This gives the students an example to compare to their daily lives at home. The class can relate to this book because the main characters are similar ages. B4. This learning activity effectively integrates both TH.K.C.1.1 and SS.K.A.2.1 into one cohesive learning experience. First students will read a story about family life in the 18th century. Then they will participate in the activity. acting out a modern family at dinner as a class is a fun way for students to Create a story about an everyday event involving family members using body movements, sounds, and imagination. Now students have an example of a family from the 18th century and have participated in a reenactment of a modern family they can compare the two. This way students who may feel uncomfortable sharing their home life have an example to pull from. It is important to integrate the Arts into lessons because it helps students express and learn in a more effective way. C. Dance and Math C1.

Retrieved from https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewStandard/Preview/3659 C2. Florida State Standard for math MAFS.K.OA.1.1 Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations. Retrieved from https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewStandard/Preview/5292 C3. In a lesson that integrates math with dance students will stand in the center of the room. Desks will have to be moved so that there is plenty of room. The teacher will oversee music, drawing cards, and names of students in the class. Students will be dancing and learning addition/subtraction. The teacher will turn on the song Gold by Brit Nicole and let it play while students create free- form dance moves with colorful scarves. The teacher will pause the music at any given time. Once the music is paused students must freeze. The teacher will draw an addition or subtraction card (have the first one be a subtraction card). These cards only subtract/ add numbers 1-3. The teacher will read the card aloud to the class. For this example, the card is to subtract 3 students. The teacher will draw the number of names that matches the subtraction card. The names that are drawn must sit down and the card with their name on it goes into another cup. The class will then tell the teacher how many students are left dancing. Students learn to subtract from a whole number. Now the teacher will turn the music back on and students will continue to dance with their scarves. The teacher will again pause the song. Students will freeze and wait for instruction from the teacher. The teacher will draw a subtraction or addition card. For this example, it will be an addition card of 2. The teacher will draw from the names that are “out” and those students get to join back in. before the music is turned back on, the students must tell the teacher how many students are dancing now. The students learn to add to a whole number. This cycle repeats until the song is over. Ca. Gold by Brit Nicole. Cb. The work of art used in this lesson that integrates math with dance is, the song Gold by Brit Nicole. This song is inspirational and upbeat. It has a positive message for both males and females that they are worth it and loved. This song is the perfect fit for this activity because it makes the kids feel good and comfortable so that they can show off their dance moves. The beat is steady and easy for children to move to. C4. This learning activity effectively integrates both MAFS.K.OA.1.1 and DA.K.F.1.1 into one cohesive learning experience. The students get to create free form dances in a game of freeze dance with a math twist. They have the freedom to dance how they feel they should to an inspirational song. They get to use colorful scarves to have something in their hands. Kids will feel more confident with a scarf because it gives them a go-to move (moving the scarf around). Some kids are not comfortable dancing so the scarf gives them something to do so they do not feel awkward. This allows students time to use their imagination while critically thinking. The students are representing addition and subtraction by being the object that is being subtracted from and added to. It is important to integrate the Arts into lessons because it helps students express and learn in a more effective way. D. Music and English Language Arts D1.
