I have not observed any arts integrated lessons during any of the lessons I have been in class for.
There have been times I have seen where arts integration would have been appropriate, or enhanced the experience. I did, however do a quick survey during math. The class was split into 3 groups (high, medium and low--not that they knew that) to work on adding and subtracting fractions. The highest group did amazingly well. I quickly asked how many of them took music lessons (piano, guitar, violin, etc.). Over half of them were in music lessons. I then asked the medium math group how many of them took music lessons. Again, over half responded. I was not able to ask the lowest group, however. I thought I would see far more music students in higher groups, but that was not the case.
Our lessons definitely integrate the arts and I am excited about that. I love music and could see where some math rules could be written as little songs to help them learn the steps and the order of math computations.
