Creatures Habitat: October 2012

http://creaturesplayschool.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

A creative learning environment where children explore the world through play. Winter Camp, etc. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. One of the beauties of Fall in this part of the country. Careful work goes into making art-making meaningful for children. Sometimes it feels like the work of a little elf leaving beautiful things out to entice children to explore them. The environment is crafted in a way that enables the children to access materials and supplies when they feel inspired to do the work. Here at Cre...

The Joyful Garden: January 2012

http://thejoyfulgarden.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 18, 2012. The sandpaper letters- a beginning! Last week, there was a day with just Calvin and Hudson and me! It can be hard to stay occupied with such a small group. I used what felt like extra time to introduce working with sandpaper letters (ours look like this http:/ www.etsy.com/listing/62740002/lowercase-sandpaper-letters? Ah, ah, ah (soft, short A sound; almost an "eh," like the sound at the beginning of "apple"). Ah is the sound of A (say letter name). For T, we sing:. We will a...

Thursday, September 20, 2012. Time has flown by so quickly since the school year started on September 27! It seems as though October is staring us in the face already.

The Joyful Garden: July 2012

http://thejoyfulgarden.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 20, 2012. Talking to Young Children About Violence- DON'T. A horribly violent armed attack occurred in Colorado overnight. Parents of young children are going to see and hear a lot of references to resources for talking to kids about what happened. Here is an example, from a source that I trust: http:/ www.mothering.com/community/t/1358574/resources-for-talking-to-kids-about-colorado-shootings. Inform other adults in their world- ahead of time, and out of eye- and ear-shot of your child- tha...

The Joyful Garden: March 2011

http://thejoyfulgarden.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 27, 2011. Another work day has come and gone, leaving me in awe of what a group of dedicated and determined adults and kids can accomplish together when they set their minds to it. When I predicted beforehand that we would be able to get all the mulch spread in the playground quickly, I never dreamed that we would be completely finished with that task by 10:00 sharp. And, the children kept on working with the mulch, and everything else. And Ari's dad, Joey, fixed the side yard gate! Our ins...
