“Portrait of My Friend” Children carefully obs “Portrait of My Friend” Children carefully observed the face of their friend and unleashed their drawing tools on paper to reveal how they saw their beloved in their mind’s eye! “Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other is gold. A circle is round, it has no end. That's how long, I will be your friend. A fire burns bright, it warms the heart. We've been friends, from the very start. You have one hand, I have the other. Put them together, we have each other. Silver is precious, gold is too. I am precious, and so are you. You help me and I'll help you and together we will see it through.

“Stand aside for a while and leave room for lear “Stand aside for a while and leave room for learning, observe carefully what children do, and then, if you have understood well, perhaps teaching will be different from before.” ~Loris Malaguzzi These large scale outdoor blocks have inspired the children to build many different forms. Some weeks ago the four year olds built a sanctuary in the rain. Today the two year olds, inspired by the windows in the form, play peek-a-boo! In life, some structures serve multiple purposes and others evolve as visions transpire. What will take shape next? Will the ideas fit the form or will ideas inspire evolving forms? #imageofchild #hundredlanguagesofchildren #architecture #buildingconcepts #planningpractices #revitalization #teacherasobserver
