Finding their stories in a winter wonderland this morning... #emergentcurriculum #playfullearning #reggioinspired

There was an extra sense of urgency and engagement from Nabbit during literacy block today...

The concept of symmetry developed naturally when discovering patterns on a butterfly's wings. 🦋 The children used beautiful stuff and paint-and-fold techniques to illustrate this mathematical concept, learning by doing. #mathisfun #symmetry #playfullearning

It's nice to take a few moments every now and then to slow down and work 1-on-1 with a child and make powerful, meaningful connections. #tinkerseeds #earlyyears – at Taipei City, Taiwan

Finding stories on a beautiful afternoon on our deck. Authentic stories for meaningful literacy learning. – at Taipei City, Taiwan

🏙 Our 3- and 4-year-olds have been exploring familiar places and what makes up our city. It's interesting to see what they notice about everyday life and experiences. #tinkerseeds
