The Wave of Charity in Action with York University Teacher Candidates

York Teacher Candidates at Holy Child

 

Mary Haddad, Andrea Hrgetic, Julia DiBernardo, and Alexandra Guiliani, started a drama/dance group at Holy Child which would be held every Monday and Tuesday during recess or lunch break. During this time the students would partake in many teamwork and confidence building activities that allowed them to express their own identities in a comfortable and open space. Seeing as though we were there for only a short period of time (until Christmas break), we wanted to show the school, and parents who attended, what the students had been working on since October so we put on a drama skit and dance that went along with the virtue of the month (Charity).

 

 

 

York Teacher Candidates at St. Agnes

 

In our first practicum there was a group of teacher candidates (William Grassby, Alessia Sconza, Sheena Vert, Denise Soares, and Kavitha Ramachandran) at St. Agnes that engaged in a winter clothing drive for the St. Vincent de Paul. We had our students produce advertisements in the form of posters, announcements and various other media. In the end, William Grassby's students did a reflective/artwork exercise which we used technology to transform into a video/slideshow. Many of the students used the clothing drive as an example of charity.
