I know there is a gap of time between the two but it is better than not sharing at all and leaving the process midway.Namshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13062287967638445170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088321428192937176.post-54548132983482500852011-06-13T20:24:05.288-04:002011-06-13T20:24:05.288-04:00Thank you for keeping Reggio Emilia alive in your ...Thank you for keeping Reggio Emilia alive in your classroom! As a former, soon to return, preschool teacher in the Reggio Emilia philosophy, I would recommend "webbing" with the children the following day/class. Write the central idea in the middle circle on a large poster board. Have each child dicuss what he or she saw, the action he or she took, thoughts/feelings, etc.,each topic branching out for the individual child's response. Display this web with the artwork. You could also record (audio or video)the discussion as a means to return to it later. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088321428192937176.post-8569588815372470642008-11-07T12:23:00.000-05:002008-11-07T12:23:00.000-05:00Very inspiring lesson!

It makes me realize how much I need to step back and let my kids show me the world through their eyes, rather than imposing my views on them. They teach me a lot by what they notice. I wish there were more Reggio Emilia schools in the U.S.ZenCrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161858043705055699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088321428192937176.post-830798339267995832008-11-06T18:24:00.000-05:002008-11-06T18:24:00.000-05:00Found you via Lori's blog.

(maybe you could arrange with the teacher to do this in the future? i know that might not be possible.) then they could talk about their plans for next time .. and before the next class, you could remind them of those plans. that would be the *ideal* situation; i realize you are working under serious constraints.<BR/><BR/>still, what you accomplished here is wonderful, and so full of promise and possibility!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
