The morning began with tinkering; exploring puzzles, nails, bolts, and loose parts before naturally following the children’s curiosity into a colorful baking soda and vinegar investigation!
Through fizzing, bubbling, mixing, and experimenting, the children explored cause and effect, transformation, and their own theories. This is emergent curriculum in action: following children’s questions and allowing their ideas to guide where learning goes next.
Rooted in the Reggio-inspired approach and the 100 Languages of Children, we see learning happen through many forms, movement, color, sensory exploration, collaboration, experimentation, and play.
In the Cedar classroom at EA, Ms. Lindsey creates an environment where the children’s curiosity leads the way, and honors every child’s unique language of learning.
