After Class Two

Thanks to everyone for making such beautiful and interesting collages yesterday!  I think we all got a lot of good ideas for future projects.  The collage in the image of the apple is made from photographs, another interesting idea. 
This week we discussed Chap. 1-3 "Teaching and the Environment".  We also looked at some images of preschools and designs. 
For the blog this week I would like you to choose two ideas to write about, one paragraph each, or one idea that you elaborate more on.  Please feel free to question the readings, extend the discussions, bring in your personal experiences or any other ideas related to our topics this week. 
Our next class will be on May 30 due to the Victoria Day holiday.  Please bring a pencil and eraser to class.  Hopefully the weather will continue through the long weekend.  Enjoy!

After Class One

Hi everyone,

I think we got off to a great start on Monday and it was a pleasure to meet everyone.  This class we did an overview of the course, introduced ourselves and read an article about "baby talk".  For this week, I would like you to try out the blog -- just post a brief message about what teaching experience you have and what age/grade you would like to work with. 
Next week we will start posting our ideas about the readings and activities. Also, please bring some materials for the collages we will make (scissors, glue, construction paper, and other decorative objects, like old ribbon, etc.).

Have a great week!
