Parent as Documenter – A Spider Investigation
Did you know that there are many downloads and links available within the Reggio-Inspired Network of Minnesota website? The newest piece, just added under “Parents as researchers” is the work of a parent of Pre-K children who captured her children’s investigations of a spider in the house. It’s inspired work. Here’s the direct link: Parent as Documenter (2)

More from Hawaii
Kinda fun to see what a Reggio inspired environment does in Hawaii--their milieu is sand, ours is snow!
Final swirls --
http://www.midpac.edu/elementary/pg/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=99255
The other classroom became curious and wanted to do the swirls as well so we are doing an open atelier where we are pairing children from each classroom in working together on the swirl creations-- it has been amazing to watch this cross classroom collaboration unfold...
Here are the galleries to the new round of swirls between two communities...you can watch as it unfolds in these 3 current galleries..

http://www.midpac.edu/elementary/PG/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=109286
Also you may like to see how the swirls are connected to a SMALL slice from our current HUGE project work as connected in our outdoor atelier ~ the beach... which has been our laboratory for thinking this whole year...
with the toss (which began with a child but how we find a connection with this to Andy Goldsworthy's work) & our work with aqueducts --- which began with a provocation -- to create an aqueduct using a line, a swirl and a curve — each has to connect to the other. The aqueduct has to be able to support a flow of water in order to move a ping pong ball from the beginning to the end. (in this gallery you'll find images of their latest and most complex aqueduct that they have created (yes there are a LOT of images 1300 in this gallery)
In our work at the beach we are find many gender differences in how children think with their hands -- we would never have stumbled upon this in the classroom and atelier -- wow our research is making us (teachers) rethink our work and children's work and thinking...

Road Trip!
for anyone who is interested in the Project Approach and who lives within driving distance of Davenport Iowa -- you are invited to the annual meeting of the Illinois Project Group Saturday, April 2, 2011, at St. Ambrose University in Davenport. Speakers include Dr. Lilian Katz and Dr Judy Harris Helm. You'll have an opportunity to see documentation of projects from early childhood programs in Iowa, Illinois (and perhaps beyond).
This is an informal event. It's always worthwhile. Professional development credits (CEs and CPDUs) are available. And -- it's free. For more information, see information on the Illinois Projects in Practice home page -- http://illinoispip.org/.
