39 weeks: Pregnancy confessions and cravings

Is it already 39 weeks?  In some ways this pregnancy has gone by very quickly, and in other ways it has lasted longer than ever!  Perhaps it's because I cannot wait to meet this little lady and experience all the ways that she will change our family.  On the other hand I am not in a rush to deliver, as I feel that all good things come to those who wait. She will make her debut when she's ready!  

Co-constructing a learning environment

In June I had the opportunity to return to Simcoe County and co-present with Ellen Brown on a topic that remains a passion of mine!  Our session was entitled, "Exploring ideas of environments that support early learning interactions in emergent curriculum settings."

New! eResource and eWorkshop on IBL - Learn at your own time and pace!

Happy August 1st!

Today I am excited to make a big blog announcement! 

It's been about a year in the making (as you can imagine I have had more than my share of distractions with a one year old/second pregnancy), and my first eResource and eWorkshop on Inquiry-based learning are available/ready for download.

5 Differences Between my First and Second Pregnancies

I cannot claim that my pregnancies were completely alike, but there were definitely some changes with carrying a girl or even being pregnant for the second time...  It makes me wonder what the delivery will be like, and also what she will be like as an infant in comparison to my son!

Come and learn with me at the Seneca Lab School!

Interested in visiting the Seneca Lab School?  

Come and learn with me this summer either with the York University Kindergarten Part 1, 2, Specialist combined AQ course that will take a field trip to this Reggio-inspired space or spend a whole week within their classrooms discussing the learning environment as the third teacher with the Ontario Reggio Association!

Documentation Design + Summer Learning

As you all know I have been instructing the Kindergarten course to teachers and early childhood educators at York University... We have been deep in discussion about pedagogical documentation and have found the work of Dr. Carol Anne Wien and Susan Stacey to be very insightful for our learning journeys.

April showers bring May flowers!

Though the end of May is here, it won't be the last time that I have flowers on my mind!  If I could afford it, I would have fresh flowers surrounding my children's programs, educator workshops, and even within my own home at all times!  Does anyone else feel this happy in the presence of a beautiful bouquet?
