What are Multiple Intelligences?

What are Multiple Intelligences?
It has been claimed by some researchers that our intelligence or ability to understand the world around us is complex. Some people are better at understanding some things  than others. For some of us it is relatively easy to understand how a flower grows but it is immensely difficult for us to understand and use a musical instrument. For others music might be easy but playing football is difficult. Instead of having one intelligence it is claimed that we have several different intelligences. These are listed below: Kinaesthetic - Body Smart Linguistic - Word Smart Logical - Number Smart Interpersonal - People Smart Intrapersonal - Myself Smart Musical - Music Smart Visual/Spatial - Picture Smart Naturalistic - Nature Smart What special intelligences do you have? You can find out by answering a few simple questions. Kinaesthetic - Body Smart You may be body smart. You will enjoy sports and are good at swimming, athletics, gymnastics and other sports. This is sometimes called being Kinaesthetic smart. Linguistic - Word Smart You may be word smart. You will enjoy reading, writing and talking about things. This is sometimes called being Linguistic smart. Logical - Number Smart You may be number smart. You will be good at mathematics and other number activities;you are also good at solving problems. This is sometimes called being Logical smart. Interpersonal - People Smart You may be people smart. You will like to mix with other people and you will  belong to lots of clubs. You like team games and are good at sharing. This is sometimes called being Interpersonal smart. Intrapersonal - Myself Smart You may be myself smart. You will know about yourself and your strengths and weaknesses. You will probably keep a diary. This is sometimes called being Intrapersonal smart. Musical - Music Smart You may be music smart. You will enjoy music and can recognise sounds, and timbre, or the quality of a tone. This is sometimes called being Musical smart. Visual/Spatial - Picture Smart You may be picture smart. You will be good at art and also good at other activities where you look at pictures like map reading, finding your way out of mazes and graphs.This is sometimes called being Visual/Spatial smart. Naturalistic - Nature Smart You may be nature smart. You will like the world of plants and animals and enjoy learning about them. This is sometimes called being Naturalistic smart.

Cute Craft

Circle Elephant Craft - Shapes, Scissor Skills, Colors, and Counting Practice This craft can be used to teach a variety of skills. You don't have to use all the thoughts for lessons... just choose the ones you're working on with your child. There is a second template with a body that you can optionally use.
Materials: scissors, glue, printer, paper Thoughts for Lessons: SCISSOR SKILLS: This craft has lots of circles plus a few rectangles and triangles to cut out -- good scissor practice! You can precut the template into separate pieces (roughly) to make it a bit easier for beginning crafters to cut out the circles. SHAPES: Separate the circles, triangles and rectangles. COLORS: verbally instruct the children on how to assemble the shapes using the colors of the shapes. (ie: Take the pink circle and glue it on the grey circle.). SIZES: show the children two circles and ask -- is this one bigger, smaller or the same size as that one. COUNTING: Count the circles, count the rectangles and count the triangles. Assembly Directions:
Glue the two medium sized pink circles inside two of the large gray circles to make the ears.
Glue the ears to the third large gray circle (the head).
Glue the small circle eyes into the center of the head.
Glue the long rectangle (trunk) dangling down from the center of the head.
Glue the two skinny triangles, point down, to either side of the trunk to complete the elephant's head.
Assembly - Template 2: to make the body, glue the head you've completed from template 1 onto the large body circle. glue the rectangle legs onto the bottom of the body glue the tail together from the largest triangle to the smallest and attach to the body

Buzzy Bee

by Carol Moore

Buzzy's not like other bees. Other bees make lots of trips to gather their nectar.

Here's Buzzy sipping from a daffodil.

                                                                                               Tulips are sweet.

Mmm... Hyacinths are sweeter.

Just one more flower.

 Uh-oh.

Rescued again.

Storytelling in the Classroom

Why Storytelling?

Educators have long known that the arts can contribute to student academic success and emotional well being. The ancient art of storytelling is especially well-suited for student exploration. As a folk art, storytelling is accessible to all ages and abilities. No special equipment beyond the imagination and the power of listening and speaking is needed to create artistic images. As a learning tool, storytelling can encourage students to explore their unique expressiveness and can heighten a student's ability to communicate thoughts and feelings in an articulate, lucid manner. These benefits transcend the art experience to support daily life skills. In our fast-paced, media-driven world, storytelling can be a nurturing way to remind children that their spoken words are powerful, that listening is important, and that clear communication between people is an art.

Why Storytelling? More Reasons...

Gaining Verbal Skills
Becoming verbally proficient can contribute to a student's ability to resolve interpersonal conflict nonviolently. Negotiation, discussion, and tact are peacemaking skills. Being able to lucidly express one's thoughts and feelings is important for a child's safety. Clear communication is the first step to being able to ask for help when it is needed.

Imagination
Both telling a story and listening to a well-told tale encourages students to use their imaginations. Developing the imagination can empower students to consider new and inventive ideas. Developing the imagination can contribute to self-confidence and personal motivation as students envision themselves competent and able to accomplish their hopes and dreams.

Passing On Wisdom
Storytelling based on traditional folktales is a gentle way to guide young people toward constructive personal values by presenting imaginative situations in which the outcome of both wise and unwise actions and decisions can be seen.
