To Erika Nickel: the reason why the hundred squares and geometric solids are in the construction area is because I do not follow rigidly the Montessori method but rather incorporate it in our Reggio inspired curriculum and environment. Some of our children are too small to use these types of Montessori materials and rather than leave them on the shelves gathering dust, we place them in the construction area for the children to use at their own will. You will be surprised to see how they soon familiarise themselves with the materials and actually start asking questions about them. Which let us introduce them bit by bit to the right use of the materials at the later date. The construction area is a place when children learn a lot about mathematical concepts without realising it. I understand this may annoy very strict Montessori teachers. But this is not what we are in our setting. As I said we combine loads of different things to make it a better learning environment. We are always careful with small parts when young children are playing around them and they are never left unattended when under a certain age.

Wow! These reggio ideas are great! I think they really probe children's thinking and creativity and let allow them to discover and explore their imagination. I especially like the fall harvest station.

Where did you get your blocks? The big ones that are natural beechwood colored not the brown stairs

Reggio is my school I’ve been there since kindergarten and I’m 3rd grade now

[@jess.spruce]

The reggio emilia approach is not all about how the materials look. they do not have to be natural because that is limiting so many possibilities.

[@mollypetrauski3395]

Yes I agree with you

[@jess.spruce]

shaimaa elkeey personally i dont like the montessori approach

[@kdfoowoo]

[@amalfarah5833]

KD Fowler I teach 2 year olds Too And our school is Reggio inspired. What I did in my classroom I got bigger items so they can explore big nature loose parts can be great idea.

[@tameramanns8389]

I see lots of small parts. How does this work with toddlers who put everything in their mouths?

[@suzanneneil6440]

Tamera Manns we have started using a lot of loose parts in our younger rooms because of this. We use a lot of sticks, shell's stones, dolly pegs, pine cones.
