Extraordinary Classroom: June 2015
http://reggiokids.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Welcome to the Extraordinary Classroom. Wednesday, June 10, 2015. Questions take us on Great Adventures. To question is to ask, to wonder, to ponder on possibilities. Questions open the door to the unknown and take us on great adventures. Each time a child asks a question we are moved in new directions; we seek new possibilities and make great discoveries. What would life be without questions? All that which man creates and discovers begins with a need to know the unknown. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Welcome to the Extraordinary Classroom. Monday, September 29, 2014. Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Begin at the Beginning! Where do you begin? Naturally you must begin at the beginning! You have a new group of preschoolers or kindergarten children, your environment is ready, the room is full of loose materials, provocations. The children arrive and chaos erupts. Your materials are everywhere. Dumped, disposed, and disheveled best describe your classroom. And you wonder how and why this happened. 160; Whe...

Extraordinary Classroom: December 2014
http://reggiokids.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Welcome to the Extraordinary Classroom. Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Coco and Her Snowman! 4 year-old Coco showed tremendous confidence while painting the last scene of “Sadie and the Snowman”. She discussed, with the teacher, what she wanted to paint and how she wanted it done. All the while, she learned to apply the delicate water color painting techniques she had learned, with precision. The end result is winter scenery come alive! Friday, December 19, 2014. Apathy, It is a Teachers Greatest Downfall!

Extraordinary Classroom: January 2015

Welcome to the Extraordinary Classroom. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Did they Have a Plan? When we look at this experience we can't help but wonder if these two boys had a plan before they began their work or did it just happen? To suggest that the building of this system was intentional would imply a high level of thinking. Some would say that children this young do not have the ability to plan ahead. What do you think? Sunday, January 18, 2015. How Far Have We Come? How Far Have We Come? The greatest inv...

Welcome to the Extraordinary Classroom. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Do you find yourself searching for those perfect "loose or natural materials" to provoke thoughtful work? Look no further than the front yard. Nature provides the perfect gift, an abundance of autumn leaves. In the hands of young children, the possibilities are endless. Sunday, October 19, 2014. Play is Not a Simple Act! Play, is it the frivolous work of childhood? How many of these do children engage in during the course of a day? Spont...

Extraordinary Classroom: The Path in the Forest
http://reggiokids.blogspot.com/2012/05/path-in-forest.html
Welcome to the Extraordinary Classroom. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. The Path in the Forest. The path in the forest is filled with trees. In the springtime the colors come out because in the winter when it's cold the trees sleep. The ground is green and covered with moss. Underneath the worms and slugs are crawling. The sky is blue and the sun is warm. It is spring! May 29, 2012 at 11:26 AM. Definitely going to save this idea. May 29, 2012 at 1:02 PM. May 30, 2012 at 1:11 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
