Creativity is a very important skill to encourage in children. It helps them to think of new and interesting ways to solve different problems. If children are able to think creatively they will be able to better understand certain concepts better. For example, children who are creative tend to do better at algebra than those that aren't. Also, creative people tend to do well in the world. They are able to solve problems that others might not be able to.
Music can help children be creative in many ways. Getting to experiment with different instruments and voice ranges enables them to think about different ways of doings things. Singing different songs helps to get the children to create different stories.
For my multicultural project I intend to use Germany as my country. I figure since my grandmother came over from Germany this will be a good way to find something out about my heritage.
