Creativity is the key to individuality.  It is relaxing to our mind and body.  It has been getting lost and forgotten about in today's society.  Why is creativity important?  It gives us a chance to express ourselves without criticism or fear.  It enables us to listen to our hearts and think about our feelings.  Children experience something amazing when they create.  It is something we cannot give them.  They have to discover it on their own.  Give children the opportunity to create with paint, writing, instruments, and performing arts.  Help them to discover their feelings and emotions through the process of creation.  This experience helps children to calm themselves after a frustrating day which reduces behavior problems.  It also helps you to connect with them by discussing the end result.   When incorporating creativity into lesson plans use it as only one part of your curriculum.  Let students demonstrate learning through art.  They also need the opportunity to create without a prompt.  Make sure you set aside time and space for creative exploration. You will be amazed at what you discover.
