The ability to bounce back and persevere

01/05/2026

Here's one child's work from our City Mouse/ Country Mouse program last week. The kids had a chance to work with a lot of loose parts and to create some pieces of their own. They can play with these scenes again and again to re-tell the story in their own words and with their own perspectives. We read a couple of our favorite versions (by Maggie Rudy and Helen Craig and the kids were off on thinking and creating their own scenes.

The atmosphere of any space tells us how to behave.

If you are in a library you behave very differently then if you are in a stadium watching a game.

The environment matters.

The classroom atmosphere is cultivated over time ..with routine, repetition, modeling, conversation, and the development of relationships.

It's more than just where you place the furniture, what contents you fill it with and how you speak with and to the children and the other adults

It's about being intentional in creating the space and the energy within it.
