How I could apply these experiences to my future classroom

# data[].attributes.body
I could apply these experiences to my future classroom in so many ways! The water stations at the aquarium gave me an idea that I could challenge my students to find random objects in our classroom that they can use to make music out of! The zoo also gave me an idea that I can give the students a designated animal and the students can act out that animal while the other students try and guess which animal it is!

Above is a picture of me at the Sedgwick County Zoo seeing what my wingspan would be! I have the wingspan of a King Vulture!

What I took away from these community arts experiences

# data[].attributes.body
What I took away from these community arts experiences is that most places make sure to incorporate activities for the children to enjoy. For example, I was nervous about the Big Brutus Museum not having any children-related activities, but to my surprise, the museum had multiple activities that children can enjoy! Another thing that I took away from these community arts experiences is that learning can be fun for all ages!

Above is a picture that I took of my boyfriend feeding some birds at the aquarium in Oklahoma City, this was so much fun!

Here is a selfie that I attempted to take with Big Brutus, it was very windy which is pretty typical for Kansas!

I saw children playing with this display. There is a button that you push that demonstrated how the Big Brutus moves and works. The children really seemed to enjoy playing with this and I think it is a great display for kids!

This was an integrated arts activity that I did myself, which was acting! I got in the drivers seat of the Big Brutus and pretended to act like I was operating the machine.

The employees at the Big Brutus Museum put together an educational video that talks about the history of Big Brutus. This was a very entertaining video and the children around me seemed to really enjoy it!

I do not have a receipt from the zoo admission because my boyfriend's mom has a zoo pass! Here is a picture of her zoo pass that we used to get in.

Here is a selfie that I took with the statue of a bear, right outside of the bear exhibit! Sadly, the bear was feeling very tired this day and was napping the whole time we were at his exhibit!

I noticed a lot of kids playing in this outdoor wildlife learning site, which was located right next to the petting zoo. Kids were able to play with all of the bells and chimes and see how differently they all sound according to how they are hit!

In the gorilla exhibit, they had a space dedicated to children! The kids got their own area with a chair and TV that told them information about gorillas and apes in a kid friendly way!

An integrated arts activity that I saw was in the petting zoo farm. Children were getting on this donkey and pretending to be riding a live donkey! I think this shows integrated arts activities such as acting/drama!

Here is a selfie that I took with some fish that are there to welcome you as soon as you walk into the aquarium!

There were lots of interactions with children at this aquarium! They had a playground down stairs that some kids were playing on while we were down there.

This aquarium had a lot of little play stations like this all over the place! I think this is an integrated art activity because children were able to create music and different sounds when they pointed the water at different bells and other objects!

Here is another water play station in which children were able to create some fun sounds and music by pointing water at the cymbals and other objects!

My favorite three arts experience was the aquarium in Oklahoma City! This was my favorite because they incorporated a lot of hands-on activities with the animals, which I thought was really cool! I also liked this one because they had so many creative games and activities for the kids, but who says it was only for kids? I enjoyed to play around at the water stations just as much as the kids!

Above is a picture of me petting some stingray! They are so smooth and slippery!
