Students in Dr. Fernanda Astiz’ “Foundations in Education” continue to find new ways to engage their primary and elementary school students at North Park Community School and St. Monica’s.
Matthew Veckich (above) put together this circuit-based “Superhero” exercise video based on the popular Marvel superhero movies.
Above is a video submitted by Connor Doran, explaining Empathy, a game that students (young and old) can play with their families. For a print version of the Empathy game and scenario cards, click here.
Graduate student Abbey Staebell (above) engages her students with a reading of the book Warthog’s in the Kitchen. Along the way, Staebell asks the students questions and counts out different illustrated objects throughout the book.
Finally, a group of Astiz’ students joined together to read the book Big Red Barn to North Park children. The Canisius students included in the reading are: Erika Eyssen (Brunswick, OH), Matthew Vekich (Niagara Falls, NY), Alexandria Fazio (Depew, NY), Jared Stahli (Lockport, NY), and Katie Bray (Clarence, NY).
