Open Studio Field Trip
An excerpt from our visit
This field trip was a perfect experience to support our Reggio Emilia philosophy. During the visit students explored two different types of Ateliers (art studio) The juice bar a culinary atelier and the pottery studio gaining rewarding experiences from both. Students were allowed to create, ask questions, explore while learning new ideas and having experiences with a variety of materials. The experience today spoke to the children's 100 languages of learning. The term "hundred languages of children" refers to the many ways that children have of expressing themselves. Providing children different avenues for thinking, revising, constructing, negotiating, developing and symbolically expressing their thoughts and feelings. A hundred different ways of thinking, of discovering, of learning. Through drawing and sculpting, through dance and movement, through painting and pretend play, through modeling and music, and that each one of these Hundred Languages must be valued and nurtured.
