On Monday, January 24th, the children worked on personal narratives describing a meaningful experience they have had with water. Some chose to write about a time they played in the rain, swimming with family members, or being stuck inside because of bad weather. The children illustrated detailed pictures of this "snapshot" of their life before writing. One of the children stood in front of a mirror to help him compose an accurate drawing of his body. After drawing, they moved through the steps of The Writing Process. Almost all of the children chose to publish their writing after peer editing and revising. They are extremely proud of the hard work they put into their writing, and they had a great time reliving meaningful experiences throughout the process.
This is a journal of experiences and projects developed by a first and second grade Reggio Emilia inspired classroom in Miami, Florida. As a teacher, I will use this as a reflection tool as well as a way to reach out to other Reggio and Sustainability Education inspired individuals. I hope friends in and outside of the education world will find inspiration in the work my class is producing and offer the wealth of beautiful ideas I know they all possess. Sincerely, Jess
Beautiful Jess! You are such an inspiration xoxoxo Hope you are doing well in Miami!
