Outside In: A Review and Inspiration

14/8/2021

0 Comments

 
I have been enjoying my summer this year and have been trying to spend as much time in nature as I can, particularly at the beach. One of the things that this pandemic has taught me is to appreciate nature and how enormous and glorious it is. I love spending my days gazing at the water or swimming and watching the sunset. It reminds me of how small I am in relation to this big world and helps me keep my  life in perspective.

I found this book at my local Barnes and Noble a while ago and thought that it was fitting for the times that we are living in. This book describes how we have progressed to being and enjoying the outdoors to being inside and disconnected from the outside world. The book goes on to describe the beauty of the outside world and how it reminds us of all of the magic that still exists in nature.

I feel that this book is well fitting to use with your students to remind them to enjoy being outdoors in a time when we are overwhelmingly stuck indoors. I was so inspired by this book and its evocative pictures that I composed a poem that I would like to share with you. Feel free to use this in class activities, or set it to music if you like, just credit the lyrics to me. Click here to purchase this book if you wish.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and do let me know if you end up using this poem in your classroom! I would love to see what creative ways you can incorporate this in!

    Hi!
    My name is Polina, and I teach general music PreK-8th grade in Connecticut. I am a music teacher who is passionate about writing-so I combined my two passions into one in Creating Musical Literature! I love using books in the classroom and I am constantly seeking ways to create musical moments and connections related to the book we are reading. 

    I have been teaching general and vocal music for nine years. I have three teaching certifications in music, dramatic arts, and technology. I started Creating Musical Literature as a way to incorporate more books into the classroom and explore my passion for writing. If you have a book recommendation for me to check out, feel free to email me at creatingmusicalliterature@gmail.com.

    You can also find me at any of my social media handles on Instagram, Pinterest,  and TikTok.

    ​Here's to creating more musical literature!
