Reggio Inspired Process Art In Kindergarten

[@fsjsamsam]

That was lovely as always 💕⭐️. I am interested in your thoughts (wording) of how this can play up in to a grade 1 room while still meeting the need for serious literacy interventions 😉I am sure you have ways of expressing Reggio in grade 1/2 that will make it accessible.

Hi Eileen, I have been working with a learning co-hort grades k, 2, 3 and 7 on a smll shift in practice to process learning..The first year they used math and the second year art to begin to develop the class culture of trust, exploration and value of process learning for both students and teachers. If your learners are vulnerable or/and have low literacy then this will give them a bump. Top three reasons will be -establishes a culture of risk and acceptance, builds trusting relationships and community which contribute to students feeling safe (SEL). Once these three tenants are achieved then a focus on literacy through process learning can be achieved. I would say that if skills are low and students are vulnerable then process learning is so important. If you have a 1/2 then you are so lucky because you can hang onto students for 2 years and really benefit from the culture you have nurtured. I am excited for you!!!

Thank you for these nice examples. I want to know how do you store all practices? I mean is there any place to make a archive of one year art work of children in kindergarten? Is it necessary even? Or it is fine to keep some of them only and throw away the rest?

Are you asking about student art portfolios? If so then yes the children choose art samples for their portfolios and take the rest home to share with families. The portfolios go home in June. It is student led not teacher directed.
