I found information for those by googling play based learning and blocks or engineering or home living and took that information to put them together. They are from a few years ago and unfortunately I don't have an electronic copy. -DarlaMrs Myers Inquiring Mindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08280387662860144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492136136099278542.post-13828597286686632782016-08-28T14:17:13.251-04:002016-08-28T14:17:13.251-04:00Hi Darla,

I was wondering where you found the "what are we learning" in the different centres?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399001362368948628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492136136099278542.post-46245332538310476742016-07-26T11:55:12.080-04:002016-07-26T11:55:12.080-04:00Hi Amy!

I do have some blog posts that may help you out!<br />http://mrsmyerskindergarten.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-classroom-environment-getting-set.html<br />http://mrsmyerskindergarten.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-first-weeks-of-kindergarten-how-do.html<br />http://mrsmyerskindergarten.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html<br />http://mrsmyerskindergarten.blogspot.com/2014/09/how-do-i-figure-out-what-students-want.html<br />http://mrsmyerskindergarten.blogspot.com/2014/09/our-first-week-figuring-out-how-school.html<br /><br />Start out with only a few things available. For example, if you have an area with loose parts, start out with only two as they WILL dump them all out and mix them up. Same with blocks. I only let them use the bottom shelf of blocks. If they prove they are responsible enough to put them away in the right places, I'll open more. With paint, we start out with one color. With engineering, only legos are available, etc. They get more available to them as they prove responsibility. So many kids don't know how to play with open ended materials like blocks, loose parts and paint! They only throw them around or mix them up. It takes some time to show them and get them inspired in these areas. Good luck on your learning journey!!<br />Sincerely,<br />DarlaMrs Myers Inquiring Mindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08280387662860144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492136136099278542.post-77892416645877427062016-06-26T16:12:19.755-04:002016-06-26T16:12:19.755-04:00Hi Darla - it is so amazing what you and your chil...Hi Darla - it is so amazing what you and your children do together everyday - the amount of detail and thought that goes into every project is astounding. You are truly an inspiration to me and all teachers who encounter you. Thank you so much for sharing your gift. I am a kindergarten teacher in a public north NJ school, who is trying to implement the Reggio style in my classroom. I have so many questions - especially about the beginning of the year and what to do in September. Do you have a post that discusses the beginning of the year? I am having such a hard time trying to organize what to do and how to slowly introduce children to each center. Do you have any suggestions? Any insight you have would be so valuable. Thank you again;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297161784546475136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492136136099278542.post-82808123831455939012016-06-09T10:37:27.297-04:002016-06-09T10:37:27.297-04:00Thank you so much for those kind words!
