Journal Week 8

I believe that creativity is one of the most important things for children to have. One reason is because it allows them to use their mind, think for themselves and to come up with their own ways to solve problems. Creativity shows individuality in a person, and it is important to teach this to children at a young age so we can encourage them to be creative and use their own creativity in everything that they do. Creativity encourages children to think out of the box and come up with their own individual ideas on a topic.
Music is an area that helps children use their creativity. By teaching children at an early age about all the different instruments and notes and sounds that is involved in music allows them to be skilled in the area and when they get older, experiment with the notes and music to come up with something that is their own. Also, by listening to a song, a child can be creative in coming up with a story that goes along with the song or by feeling the different individual emotions that music brings.
For my multicultural project I am choosing Ireland as my country. I am over half Irish on both sides of my family so I think this culture represents me the best and it is something I will be interested to learn more about.
