Thank you NWOJ!

I like how you segued from babies to toddlers to preschoolers.

As a matter of fact, my older kids are moving shortly, and I will be starting "over" with 4 babies over the next 5 months.

Can you give me some examples of materials you had for babies? At what age do you introduce art materials...paint, clay, collage materials, etc.

If you were required to document "lesson plans" or "activity plans" (to get 4 or 5 stars here, we do), how could you do that?

Here is the document that we are using for my Praticum 3 class:
________________________________________________________________

CURRICULUM AREA(S): (circle)

What were the children say or doing that made you think of this activity?

Ideas for Follow-up:

I'm trying to juggle a lot of different things, here. When you document, do you use anything like this? I'm thinking I could use it for my class and for the Youngstar rating. Can I use it (or something similar) as evidence of intentional planning? Can it fit with the Reggio approach? What kinds of activies (I think you called them provocations, & can I intertwine them) can I do with infants?

I was going to interview you for my class. I'll consider this the interview, on the open forum for everyone's benefit.


Thank you again for sharing, and take your time answering. I know you have other things to do, as well!
