Workshop Today!
Today, Roleen held the “A Culture of Welcoming” workshop for 16 educators. This series of workshops, primarily presented by teachers to teachers (and free to parents) helps collect the funds we need to support the work with our West Coast Collaborative (WCC) and with Reggio Children. This year, we entered a 3 year contract that has us working directly with Tiziana Filippini (Pedagogista) and Loretta Bertani (Aterlierista). Via skype calls and personal visits, we are sharing documentation and receiving input that has us looking deeper into our work. It’s a learning experience that keeps our passion for this educational approach strong and meaningful and we look forward to sharing this process with you. Their first visit as a team will be on Friday, February 14th, and they will be observing the classrooms. We will be closing at 12:15 so the teachers can come together and reflect on what they saw. It’s a big deal! Thanks to the Hospitality Team for providing lunch.
This weekend is the first of the Natural Dye Series with Katherine and Jaqueline so feel free to join us. The link to the sign up is in It’s Monday!
